A new Flyspray task has been opened.  Details are below.

Summary - Remove autoconf test for malloc
Task Type - Feature Request
Category - Dune Core Modules
Status - New
Assigned To - 
Operating System - Unspecified / All
Severity - Low
Priority - Normal
Reported Version - 2.0
Due in Version - Undecided
Due Date - Undecided
Details - dune-common.m4 includes a test that checks for malloc. It appears to me that malloc is not used in the core modules (I just testet our module dune-pm which depends on all core modules and compiled fine). Maybe this is still a relict from istl allocator?

The problem is that the malloc test breaks cross-compilation on linux for some platforms (e.g. Windows).

I therefore request the removal of this test.
Objections?

One or more files have been attached.
