Re: texinfo 4.6.91: fix broken xmalloc

    You are requiring C89 anyway, so what's the problem?

Nothing specific, I've just wasted so much time with stupid type clashes
involving size_t, I have always avoided it.  Standards != reality.

    It's not about >2gb, but about bogus malloc declaration.
    
What's wrong with void *malloc()?

    It causes install-info to fail with ENOMEM.  It's a blocker for 64
    bit systems.

Why should a lack of size_t in a declaration cause ENOMEM, and in
install-info of all places?  That makes no sense to me at all!  It's all
the same bits.

What "64-bit system" is this?  I compiled on Linux and Solaris systems
with 64-bit support and didn't see this.  How do I reproduce?

Anyway, I don't refuse to put in the size_t stuff, as long as I can
understand why it's necessary ...
