malloc: bison-2.1+, prototype mismatch vs. stdlib.h (C++ mode)

[David Fang]

Hi,
        In reponse to the thread begun here:
http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/help-bison/2007-10/msg00049.html

I've attached a proposed patch for the C parser skeleton (yacc.c) that 
improves usability with C++ compilation (regarding malloc prototype), even 
though it is not officially supported.  Please consider this patch, or let 
me know why it cannot be accepted.  Thanks.
