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?
