This is the correct fix, if reg@ > wishes to get this merged into GnomeICU sources. No, the correct fix is to have autoconf check for malloc.h, and define HAVE_MALLOC_H if it exists. Or just ignore malloc.h entirely, since there is no malloc.h in any C standard that I know, nor in POSIX '88 or later, nor XPG3 or later. K&R's `The C Programming Language' doesn't mention it, nor does Stevens's APUE. The GnomeICU author is reasonable and appreciates bug fixes. > Although I'd > just take out #else #include <malloc.h> personally. And just leave the HAVE_STDLIB_H? That seems silly.
