Is there anywhere that we are configuring for that doesnt declare exit()
in 'stdlib.h' if it cares about it being declared at all ?

If not Configure could do something like :

cat <<FOO >try.c
#include <stdlib.h>
int main(int argc, char *argv[]) { return 0;}
FOO

if $cc -o try  $ccflags $ldflags try.c 2>/dev/null; then
  $stdlib='#include <stdlib.h>'
else
  $stdlib=''
fi

Shortly after having determined that there is indeed a working C compiler
and put $stdlib in the top of every subsequent try.c it makes - or is this
a little too simple minded ? :)

BTW what is the SP on making patches to Configure ?
