Some early releases of AIX 6 include a malloc.h header with an
incorrect use of "builtin" keyword:

#ifdef __cplusplus
extern "C" {
   extern "builtin" char *__alloca (size_t);
#  define alloca __alloca
}
#endif /* def __cplusplus */

GCC is not too happy about this.  Now that GCC mainline and 4.7 use
C++ for bootstrap, this breaks bootstrap on a narrow range of AIX 6
systems.  The following patch applies the same fix to the header file
that IBM applied in its own update.

Okay for trunk, 4.7 and 4.6?

Thanks, David


        * inclhack.def (aix_malloc): New.
        * fixincl.x: Regenerate.
        * tests/base/malloc.h [AIX_MALLOC_CHECK]: New.

OK for any open branch you care to apply it to.
