Bugzilla Bug 47667

a2ps fails to compile with gcc 3.4, giving the following error:


gcc -DHAVE_CONFIG_H -DLOCALEDIR=\"/usr/share/locale\" -DSYSCONFFILE=\"/etc/a2ps/a2ps.cfg\" -I. -I. -I.. -I.. -I../intl -I. -O3 -pipe -msse -msse2 -ftracer -march=k8 -c path-concat.c -MT path-concat.lo -MD -MP -MF .deps/path-concat.TPlo -o path-concat.o

path-concat.c:34: error: conflicting types for 'malloc'
path-concat.c:34: error: conflicting types for 'malloc'

I will attach the patch that fixes it in the next reply
