Typo "Regnerate".

But the patch itself is fine - OK for trunk.

Oh, sorry, for all the typos.


I'm ambivalent about this being backported to gcc-7 and gcc-8 branches
(gcc-6 is unaffected as it doesn't use aligned_alloc).

It's strictly speaking an ABI change, because HAVE_ALIGNED_ALLOC
affects the memory layout for allocations from operator new(size_t,
align_val_t) (in new_opa.cc) which needs to agree with the
corresponding operator delete (in del_opa.cc). Using static linking it
might be possible to create a binary that has operator new using
aligned_alloc, but operator delete expecting to do ((void**)ptr)[-1],
which would be bad.

Those operators are C++17, so "experimental", but maybe we shouldn't
make the change on release branches.


I was able to build a GCC 7.3.0 compiler, but now the build fails on the GCC 7 branch.
