IMHO the current version of <malloc.h> is wrong.  This header
file used to be a legitimate header file prior to ANSI C.  So
it should be

#if __STDC__
# error "<malloc.h> is not part of the C standard, use <stdlib.h>"
#else
# include <stdlib.h>
#endif

This way, if someone explicitly expresses his wish to compile ancient
C code by using "-traditional", he could get what he wants.

Never trust an operating system you don't have sources for. ;-)
