No, stdlib.h was introduced in ANSI C.  Specifically testing for it allows
compilations in environments where your system does not supply ANSI headers,
even though you may have an ANSI compiler.

Yes, it is paranoid.  Yes, I am paranoid.  Paranoia is the key to
portability.  If you don't make any assumptions, your assumptions can't be
wrong.

I note code like this in sources

#ifdef HAVE_STDLIB_H
#include <stdlib.h>
#endif /* HAVE_STDLIB_H */

stdlib.h is not a standard (always present in all C version) header file ?
