Yes it does thanks for the explanation. Cygwin has some mechanism that makes
it possible for a program to supply its own malloc/free and friends I think
(malloc_wrapper.cc). Would it be hard to also handle memalign/valloc and
later posix_memalign in the same fashion?
Would I be correct in assuming that such an addition would make glib call the
Emacs versions?
