MicroPython UNIX does not compile on FreeBSD #24

- added a commit that references this issue
on Jan 1, 2014 I changed the declaration in obj.h to try and fix point (c). Let me know if it worked.
replacing malloc.h with stdlib.h is the correct fix, it is the proper way to include it. Issue #27 is basically a duplicate of this.
Damien,
Thanks for the quick turn around. The obj.h fix solved the declaration problem. I still needed to manually patch main.c to import stdlib.h rather than malloc.h but with this change the py and cpy interpreters built cleanly.
I ran the test suite - the basic tests all passed however a number of the bytecode tests failed (though I am not sure if this is expected (output below).
One minor point - the 'run-tests.sh' expects /bin/bash to be present (and doesn't work with /bin/sh) - for portability this should be "#!/usr/bin/env bash"
So - to build on FreeBSD now just requires:
- The stdlib.h patch
- The bash change
- Note about needing bash & python3 packages
Paul.

Hello,
Tried compiling MicroPython UNIX on FreeBSD 9.2 (amd64) and although the majority of the code complies fine I had the following problems:
a) Need to use 'gmake' rather than 'make' (this just needs a note in the docs)
b) malloc.h is deprecated and should be replaced with stdlib.h (think this is true on Linix as well)
gcc -I. -I../py -Wall -Werror -ansi -std=gnu99 -Os -DUSE_READLINE -c -o build/main.o main.c
In file included from main.c:4:
/usr/include/malloc.h:3:2: error: #error "<malloc.h> has been replaced by <stdlib.h>"
cc1: warnings being treated as errors
main.c: In function 'do_repl':
main.c:76: warning: implicit declaration of function 'free'
gmake: *** [build/main.o] Error 1
Replacing malloc.h with stdlib.h fixes the problem and allows most the the rest of the code to complie cleanly.
c) mp_map_t is redefined
gcc -I. -I../py -Wall -Werror -ansi -std=gnu99 -Os -DUSE_READLINE -c -o build/runtime.o ../py/runtime.c
In file included from ../py/runtime.c:17:
../py/map.h:18: error: redefinition of typedef 'mp_map_t'
../py/obj.h:117: error: previous declaration of 'mp_map_t' was here
gmake: *** [build/runtime.o] Error 1
Haven't been able to work out logic of includes to fix this yet
