[PATCH,FIXINCLUDES] AIX stdlib.h #define malloc


AIX has added variants of malloc, realloc, calloc and valloc with
greater compatibility with Linux semantics, especially for NULL
addresses.  The variants are declared in stdlib.h and use #define to
override the normal definition if _LINUX_SOURCE_COMPAT is defined,
e.g.,

#define malloc __linux_malloc
#define calloc __linux_calloc
#define realloc __linux_realloc
#define valloc __linux_valloc

libstdc++-v3 cstdlib specifically undefines a number of stdlib.h macros, e.g.,

// Get rid of those macros defined in <stdlib.h> in lieu of real functions.
...
#undef malloc
#undef realloc

C++ applications on AIX, especially users of BOOST that include
cstdlib, encounter unexpected behavior when the definition of malloc
changes from the expected / requested version.

The following patch updates fixincludes to correct the AIX stdlib.h
header by converting the #define to GCC asm aliases.  I created a
separate fix for each definition because the order is not guaranteed.

Bootstrapped on powerpc-ibm-aix7.1.0.0.  This fixes a recent node.js
build failure on AIX due to additional dependence on BOOST.

Okay for trunk, GCC 6 and GCC 5?

Thanks, David
