++From 2cc80dc06ea42087788cf27b31821ffa99a22f89 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001
++From: Johannes Lode <johannes.lode@dynainstruments.com>
++Date: Thu, 14 Nov 2019 10:44:00 +0100
++Subject: [PATCH] Drop AC_FUNC_MALLOC and _REALLOC and check for them as
++ regular functions.
++
++While cross-compiling there occurred "undefined reference to
++`rpl_malloc'", the suggested change fixes the problem.
++
++Tested for native X86_64 and armv7a-unknown-linux-gnueabihf.
