Hi Ondřej
Thank you for this explanation. I note that none of the official ISC
BIND packages for EL7 and EL8 link against jemalloc, even though the
documentation recommends it.
The jemalloc folks have deemed 3.6 as stable, and that's why it's the
latest version in EPEL7. For EPEL8 and EPEL9, the jemalloc folks deemed
version 5.2.1 as stable, and that's what's available.
I suppose that on this basis, it *should* be okay to build and use BIND
with jemalloc on all these versions. However, I will give this some more
thought for our own RPMs, and see what we want to do. I'm leaning
towards building without jemalloc for EL7, and with for EL8 and EL9.
Regards,
Anand

Hi Anand,
I think there's only a risk that ISC doesn't regularly test with older jemalloc
versions,
so you might get a hit by a bug we are not aware of.
Upstream recommends upgrading to at least 5.1.0 and further releases (up to
5.3.0)
fixes some bugs introduced in 5.x releases, but it's ultimately your decision
It's little bit similar with libuv - you will be better running with latest
upstream release,
but you can get away with older versions too.
