Unless someone objects violently, I intend to commit the following
patch to gnusrc/gnu/dist/gcc/cplus-dem.c in a couple of days.

This makes the prototypes for xmalloc() and xrealloc() match exactly
their previous definitions in scan.h (which are what they are for
portability reasons).

Please note that this applies to the "old" gcc.
