A fair amount of third party software in ports still uses <malloc.h>
which in our system is like this:

        /* $FreeBSD: src/include/malloc.h,v 1.5 2001/11/07 23:14:31 obrien Exp 
$ */
        #if __STDC__
        #error "<malloc.h> has been replaced by <stdlib.h>"
        #else
        #include <stdlib.h>
        #endif

What is the best way to disable the error without an
explicit patch (there are over 200 patchfiles in ports
just doing that) ?

I tried the following

+ CPPFLAGS += -U__STDC__
  seems to work, though it gives some warnings because a
  built-in define is undefined. Also i am not sure if there
  are other parts of the system that are affected;

+ CPPFLAGS += -traditional-cpp
  is also reported to unset __STDC__, but it generates an
  independent set of warnings and errors;

Any other ideas ?

        cheers
