Even easier:
#define g_malloc  malloc

The advantage of this approach is that there will be no change in many files
and,  if desired, we can change implementation of  these simple functions,
e.g. we can make g_malloc to bail out if we run out of memory.
But this is just a matter of taste which approach to chose for these simple
functions.

The remaining 30% of mc's glib code usage must be the list code, and I think
the best way to handle it is just to use glib's implementation.
