clang 3.3/3.4 fails to build items that use stdlib.h because of __alloc_size attribute assigned to posix_memalign

Hi,
	It looks like clang 3.3/3.4 from ports both don’t like __alloc_size being attached to posix_memalign. This only concerns me because it might make the src upgrade path from 9.3/10.3 to 11.0 painful.
	Thoughts on how this should be fixed or whether or not we care?
Thanks,
-Ngie
