I agree we don't want rpl_malloc.

The question is why does it fail to find the malloc in libmsvcrt.a (or newer
friends). libmsvcrt.a provides _malloc:

i686-pc-mingw32-nm /usr/i686-pc-mingw32/sys-root/mingw/lib/libmsvcrt.a
dxnmbs00676.o:
00000000 b .bss
00000000 d .data
00000000 i .idata$4
00000000 i .idata$5
00000000 i .idata$6
00000000 i .idata$7
00000000 t .text
         U __head_libmsvcrt_a
00000000 I __imp__malloc
00000000 T _malloc

But that shouldn't hold up packaging.
