Just a note: the 1989 ANSI C standard (adopted as the ISO C standard in 1990) required that malloc(0) return a valid pointer, so any system that doesn't provide this capability is not even compliant with the most basic, bare minimum set of standards required by POSIX, which has been in place for 16 years. That's pretty sad. Nevertheless, GNU make still attempts to be compliant with pre-ANSI compilers for those poor benighted folk who are stuck with them: this issue has been fixed in the CVS archive for GNU make for a while and the fix will appear in the next release.
