#11 mhash-0.9.9.9: No more need for AC_FUNC_MALLOC check

2013-11-05T07:28:05.598000Z

And for the stdlib.h check dropped from configure: This is still done earlier.

mhash-0.9.9.9: No more need for AC_FUNC_MALLOC check

2013-11-05T07:14:44.501000Z

Compiling mhash-0.9.9.9 on platforms (like AIX) without GNU libc compatible malloc leads to undefined symbol rpl_malloc when linking the in-mhash executables drver, frag_test, rest_test, hmac_test, keygen_test.

Reason is that configure.in still contains AC_FUNC_MALLOC, detecting need to "#define malloc rpl_malloc", while mhash does not provide a rpl_malloc implementation.

As the only use of malloc() in lib/stdfns.c does not rely on GNU libc compatible malloc actually, there is no need to check for one.

The workaround for now is to set ac_cv_func_malloc_0_nonnull=yes environment variable for configure, but attached patch is to drop the check from configure.in and configure (the latter is to be regenerated).

Thank you!
