Memory leaks when using freeglut
I don't expect any of the memory leaks you discovered to originate in freeglut, but if you think there is an issue with it, please report it on our bug tracker on github (https://github.com/FreeGLUTProject/freeglut/issues), with all the relevant information (like this program, and valgrind output, or whatever else is relevant).

Adding a cylinder to an already built project
an alternative to GLUT is FreeGLUT, but the problem with that is that It's not as useful as GLFW still

Recommendations for a lightweight cross platform windowing library?
FreeGLUT - Modeled after the old GLUT from the early days of OpenGL. Very light; supported by almost all desktop (Win, Mac, Posix) platforms.

Modern OpenGL loading library solution
GLAD is quite popular. Here’s a short comparison, although I dunno if there’s any real reason to use it over GLEW if that’s what you’re comfortable with.
What are some alternatives?
When comparing freeglut and glad-web you can also consider the following projects:
GLFW - A multi-platform library for OpenGL, OpenGL ES, Vulkan, window and input
glad - Multi-Language Vulkan/GL/GLES/EGL/GLX/WGL Loader-Generator based on the official specs.
SDL-1.2 - Simple Directmedia Layer, 1.2 branch ... ***DEPRECATED***, please use https://github.com/libsdl-org/SDL for new projects!
sokol - minimal cross-platform standalone C headers
nuklear - A single-header ANSI C immediate mode cross-platform GUI library
