If he was interested in the 'C' standard, he would have looked there
first. 

Just to be persnickety, he asked about <alloh.h>. There are things 
declared there other than malloc(). There is probably no direct 
<alloc.h> replacement in GNU. I don't know. Never had to ask the
question before.

I also noticed, in the Borland <malloc.h> , this:
File MALLOC.H:
/*  malloc.h
#if !defined(__MALLOC_H)
#define __MALLOC_H
#if !defined(__ALLOC_H)
#include <alloc.h>


Borland's <alloc.h> is sorta disjoint from 
the GNU usual stuff. malloc() does get prototyped in both
places in Borland. There are other malloc() variants, and 
more of them appear in <malloc.h> than in <stdlib.h> . I always
disliked that - it should appear in one place. 

In general, my preferred method of resolving includes when porting
to an unfmailiar environment is to remove the offending include, 
making sure -Wall(or equivalent) is on, and making a list of all 
the prototype errors.

grep for those, then massage until warnings disappear.
