The AC_FUNC_MALLOC is some kind of fallback for environments which don't have a
malloc() function in their libc. If this is the case (apparently it is for
MinGW), then a '#define malloc rpl_malloc' is added to config.h.

According to rjones, the rpl_malloc() function is part of gnulib. We don't have
gnulib in our MinGW toolchain, so this ends up in a undefined reference (to
rpl_malloc). After removing the AC_FUNC_MALLOC from the configure.ac file, the
compile completes without problems (and the malloc from the MinGW libraries is
used).
