All I can come up with without being able to test is to change the 
function prototype for db_malloc in src/include/proto_dbmi.h from
void *      db_malloc                 P((int n ));
to
void *      db_malloc                 P((size_t));

size_t is used for the argument passed to malloc() in 
/usr/include/stdlib.h . Although I notice GRASS' G_malloc is declared as 
taking an int and hasn't caused problems..

Would be good if somebody can test.
