Need volunteer for #61780 - G_GNUC_MALLOC()

[Owen Taylor <otaylor redhat com>]

The patch in:

 http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=61870

that adds gcc function attributes to various GLib functions is
blocking on one part -- we need someone to try applying the patch and
compiling some tests with and without the G_GNUC_MALLOC() part and see
if it make any difference to code generation. (Preferably with a
recentish GCC, such as 2.96, 3.0 or 3.1)

At this point G_GNUC_MALLOC() is a post 2.0 item, because
of the API freeze, but since I'm looking at the bug now,
I thought I'd bring it up in case someone wants to do the testing now;
if the results are attached to the bug report, that will
be useful in the 2.2 cycle.

Regards,
                                        Owen
