A fair amount of third party software in ports still uses <malloc.h>

#if __STDC__
#error "<malloc.h> has been replaced by <stdlib.h>"
#else
#include <stdlib.h>

What is the best way to disable the error without an
explicit patch (there are over 200 patchfiles in ports
just doing that) ?
I think patch it is best, because if I understand it corrects is that
malloc() in stdlib.h is standard of ANSI C. Correct me if I am wrong.
However, I don't see anything wrong with patch. You can simple use
wildcard (*.c) or use find(1) to find files to replace the malloc.h ->
stdlib.h by use REINPLACE_CMD without have to create multi-file patch.

I tried the following
+ CPPFLAGS += -U__STDC__
seems to work, though it gives some warnings because a
built-in define is undefined. Also i am not sure if there
are other parts of the system that are affected;
+ CPPFLAGS += -traditional-cpp
is also reported to unset __STDC__, but it generates an
independent set of warnings and errors;
Any other ideas ?
cheers
