	Correct.  In gcc/system.h, stdio.h and sys/types.h, as well as
ctype.h and errno.h are used unconditionally.  They are not tested for
in configure.in.

However the "char * malloc ();" is not okay.  At the very least it
should be "PTR malloc();" and better yet would be to autoconfiscate it
as Jeff requested.

	Actually, I was waiting until after the 2.95 release since
Jeff told me that he won't be reviewing any configury
(i.e. non-critical bugfix) patches until then.  (Jeff if this is
higher priority, let me know and I'll do it sooner.)
