What would be the purpose of such a trick?  A program compiled with
strict ANSI compliance cannot possibly use a non-ANSI library
function, or else it invades the user's namespace.

If you do that to get a better compiler diagnostics, simply add more
"-Wfoo" warning switches to the command line.

Dropping the necessary additions into the non-ANSI, non-Posix portion
of stdlib.h is not hard.  I'd suggest that you do that, it will
probably make the code be accepted faster.

I asked for diffs, not the entire file.  The file is large, so I
didn't want to spend my time finding the differences between the CVS
version and the one you produced.

If you send diffs, I promose to review them and get back to you.

It doesn't matter: even if the malldbg section is split, we still ask
for diffs, not a full new version each time.

??? The outline is already there: you see it in the original
malloc.txh.  Or maybe I don't understand what outline you need.
