Problems are not from including stdlib.h but from not including string.h
E.g. cpu.c from flac library includes memory.h possibly to get the proto
for memset(). Their decision might be debatable, but that's what they do
and it works everywhere except for djgpp, for which I suggested a patch
http://lists.xiph.org/pipermail/flac-dev/2017-January/006109.html

That's good with me. Should I push it to cvs?
