Here's the change for the modules 'malloc', 'realloc', 'sigpipe'. These modules
cannot be used among tests-related modules, due to the way the GNULIB_MALLOC_GNU
macro etc. are used in the middle of functions in lib/*.c.

        Add a remark about certain modules.
        * modules/malloc (Comment): New section.
        * modules/realloc (Comment): Likewise.
        * modules/sigpipe (Comment): Likewise.
