Package: autoconf
Version: 2.59a-3
Severity: important
In cross compiling the AC_MALLOC_FUNC function will *always* indicate
that malloc should be replaced with rpl_malloc. The code in the
./configure scripts looks like this:
echo "$as_me:$LINENO: checking for GNU libc compatible malloc" >&5
echo $ECHO_N "checking for GNU libc compatible malloc... $ECHO_C" >&6
if test "${ac_cv_func_malloc_0_nonnull+set}" = set; then
echo $ECHO_N "(cached) $ECHO_C" >&6
else
if test "$cross_compiling" = yes; then
ac_cv_func_malloc_0_nonnull=no
else
cat >conftest.$ac_ext <<_ACEOF
/* confdefs.h. */
_ACEOF
[...]
The test $cross_compiling check will force the test to fail even if
the target compiler is GCC and has no such bug.
