That's certainly reasonable, but we're not talking about your actual
program here.  We're talking about what the little test program -- the
one that "configure" compiles.  Surely this little test program can be
written so that it will still work as desired even if <stdlib.h> is
included.

If you find them out, please let me know.  Like I said, I don't use
C++, so I'm not the right guy to ask.  It would be helpful if this
stuff were written down as comments in the source.
