This was discussed in one of the mailing-lists a few months ago.  The
postponement of 5.0 means that port maintainers have almost a year to
fix programs which still use this 10-years-obsolete header.
<malloc.h> was never part of Standard C and is was included in SUSv2.

As the error message suggests, the correct fix for any program which
unconditionally includes <malloc.h> is to include <stdlib.h> instead.
