The attached patch and answering "n" to the Configure question

   Do you wish to attempt to use the malloc that comes with perl? [y] n

allowed a successful make and make test for perl at patchlevel 37 on an
IBM RS/6000 running AIX 3.1. (Answering "y" yielded an "illegal redefinition
message for "free" in malloc.c.) The default answer was taken for all other
questions posed by Configure.
