[Bug malloc/14483] obstack uses int for allocation sizes

A library is compiled against glibc's <obstack.h>, but something else links in
the implementation from gnulib.  As far as I can tell, the two aren't
ABI-compatible, so you end up with crashes.

obstack_vprintf is another problem if gnulib doesn't provide that.
