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.
