Can anyone help me? Thanks

EDIT:

/usr/include/stdlib.h (line 470)

extern void *malloc (size_t __size) __THROW __attribute_malloc__ __wur;

binutils-2.22/libiberty/regex.c (line 130)

char *malloc ();

Could you give the declarations of malloc in files /usr/include/stdlib.h (line 470) and binutils-2.22/libiberty/regex.c (line 130) – Philippe Blayo Dec 20 '12 at 11:04
What CFLAGS are you using to compile? – Mat Dec 20 '12 at 15:34
The default ones. I havent added anything – Ruben Roy Dec 21 '12 at 13:40
And I am compiling on ubuntu 10.04 64bit – Ruben Roy Dec 21 '12 at 13:41
