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;
