I don't understand about what ``gnu directory structure'' are you
talking about; I hope you are looking at the right sources, since the
DJGPP library has nothing to do with GNU.  Our malloc source is on
src/libc/ansi/stdlib/malloc.c in djlsr203.zip.

Please go ahead, I think it would be a nice addition to the library.
