It appears so, but I haven't tested it. The 'error' module doesn't
depend on it. I'll try it, thanks.

Right. I'm just concerned with the malloc module approach, GNU
applications are written using C standard functions but wouldn't be
portable unless the gnulib malloc module is present. I think it is
better to rename functions that doesn't provide the same interface
that can be expected from standard functions.
