Did you use -DBUILD_CONFIG=mysql_release ?
I think it forces jemalloc to be in.

One approach, that will always show correct procedure, is to go to
http://buildbot.askmonty.org/ and check the build log (click on the
branch name, e.g. 10.1, then on one of the latest builds for one of the
bintar builders). For example, see
http://buildbot.askmonty.org/buildbot/builders/kvm-bintar-trusty-amd64/builds/1625/steps/compile/logs/stdio
