TEST_COMPAT is plausible, but the patch does of course need to address the 
malloc test as well (with the appropriate version for obsoletion named in 
the TEST_COMPAT call), and I think returning 77 (UNSUPPORTED) rather than 
0 is appropriate in the fallback case, given that the (obsolete) feature 
being tested *is* unsupported by the (new) port.
