Hi, I cross-build my native linux program for Windows using mingw. I recently ran autoscan to see if my configure.ac was lacking anything that ought to be in there, and the recommendations included adding AC_FUNC_MALLOC and AC_FUNC_REALLOC. These macros cause the cross-build to fail with errors about "undefined reference to _rpl_malloc", etc. The autoconf manual says that the macros are supposed to enforce compatibility with GNU's malloc in that 'malloc(0)' should return a valid pointer, and suggests a sort of wrapper to accomplish this.
My question is whether I can safely comment out AC_FUNC_MALLOC and AC_FUNC_REALLOC, because the program seems to build and run fine on both platforms without these checks.
