Sorry, I was on vacation and didn't get to participate in the early goings.
Actually, to be complete do this:
#ifdef lint
#define malloc(x) 0
#else
extern char *malloc(); /* or void* if that's what it is */
#endif
This eliminates the need for people to declare malloc in their programs,
which would look pretty silly if you just #define'd malloc to be 0:
extern char *0;
