AC_FUNC_MALLOC and AC_FUNC_STRTOD are indended to be used with replacement implementations for those functions (usually from gnulib). If you're not providing replacements, they're not very useful. I think autoscan will suggest using them if you ever use either of those functions, but you may or may not need the portability there. -- Russ Allbery (r...@stanford.edu) <http://www.eyrie.org/~eagle/>
