Oke, it is what the code now forces...
And I've tried avoiding tcmalloc uptil now, and would like to do so for
the time being..

The tracker suggests that it is an error in 2.5.93, but
cmake/modules/BuildRocksDB.cmake suggests that it is only fixed in
2.6.2...??

I'll use this as workaround for the time being, since that is least
invasive. And when that works out, try and make a PR for the allocator
selector in CmakeLists.txt, and/or wait until gperf-tools 2.6.2 is
available on FreeBSD.
