That sounds pretty easy, provided the affected ports honour CFLAGS. :-)

Wouldn't something like this work?

#if WANT_STDLIB_MALLOC
#if __STDC__
#error "<malloc.h> has been replaced by <stdlib.h>"
#else
#if __GNUC__
#warning "this file includes <malloc.h> which is deprecated, use <stdlib.h> instead"
#endif
#include <stdlib.h>
#endif
#endif

Ciao,
Sheldon.
