I'm sorry, but I cann't understand you clearly. what do you mean by
writting this? compare two different versions? if so, which two version?

I read the malloc.h file in u-boot-2010.09. it's content like below:
#ifdef INTERNAL_LINUX_C_LIB
819 
820 #if __STD_C
821 
822 Void_t * __default_morecore_init (ptrdiff_t);
823 Void_t *(*__morecore)(ptrdiff_t) = __default_morecore_init;
824 
825 #else
826 
827 Void_t * __default_morecore_init ();
828 Void_t *(*__morecore)() = __default_morecore_init;
829 
830 #endif /* __STD_C */
831 
832 #define MORECORE (*__morecore)
833 #define MORECORE_FAILURE 0
834 #define MORECORE_CLEARS 1

#else /* INTERNAL_LINUX_C_LIB */
837 
838 #if __STD_C
839 extern Void_t*     sbrk(ptrdiff_t);
840 #else
841 extern Void_t*     sbrk();
842 #endif
843 
844 #ifndef MORECORE
845 #define MORECORE sbrk
846 #endif
847 
848 #ifndef MORECORE_FAILURE
849 #define MORECORE_FAILURE -1
850 #endif
851 
852 #ifndef MORECORE_CLEARS
853 #define MORECORE_CLEARS 1
854 #endif
855 
856 #endif /* INTERNAL_LINUX_C_LIB */
Do you mean that I should change MORECORE_CLEARS from 1 to 0?
