This matter is appropriate for the gcc-help list, redirecting there.

It's unclear whether this is an optimization issue, or a different
build issue.  We can't really comment on what's going wrong until you
have actual source code to show, I'm afraid.

Do you define your version of the global operators new and delete in
the same translation unit?
