Help interpretting a g++ error?

[Dan Stromberg]

I'm trying to build some software using g++.

I keep getting this weird "malloc not declared" errors when cstdlib is
included.  I googled around about this, but while I found many folks
posing similar questions, I didn't find much in the way of usable answers.

I've tried gcc 3.3.6 and gcc 3.2.3, with the same result.  I'm working in
parallel on building a version of 4.0.1 to see if that helps, but that may
turn out to be a long-term project, since I'm working on AIX 5.1

I also tried truss'ing the g++ process, which generally works great with C
code for finding missing header files, but with g++ it doesn't seem to
help.

Does anyone have any suggestions what to make of this, and how to get
around it?

Thanks!
