Typo "Regnerate".
But the patch itself is fine - OK for trunk.
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.
The way it is now I'm getting build failures on new SPU target
(which is newlib based):

This seems to be because configure is hard-coded to assume aligned_alloc
is not available, but then the new_opc.cc file tries to define its own
version, conflicting with the newlib prototype that is actually there.
So one way or the other this needs to be fixed ...
But that's on trunk, right? Sebastian is about to fix that.
I expect the same problem exists on the branches too though.
I'm surprised nobody has reported this until now. It's been like that
since r244933 in Jan 2017.
I notices this problem today with a build of the GCC 7 branch. I am able
to build a GCC 7.3.0.
