Yeah, I didn’t have a better suggestion to you, just wanted to be on record against modifying /usr/include.

Two people in that ticket revealed that the problem was that they had previously modified /usr/include to add a symlink from /usr/include/malloc.h to /usr/include/malloc/malloc.h, and that removing that symlink fixed the build problem. Have you perhaps also created such a symlink before?
