      We currently directly include either <cstdlib> or <stdlib.h> in various places. In some (but not most) of those places we have a work-around for an AIX issue. And we declare some functions from there deprecated to prevent normal use of them in HotSpot code.

      JDK-8369186 proposes the use of wrappers for Standard Library headers. Such a wrapper for <cstdlib> would provide a single place for the work-around and for the deprecation declarations.
