    BTW, I think it would be a good idea to make the
    change you spotted.
    
    Is there a reason why you can't follow this advice on
    the new way to use the malloc interface in your application
    (from ./include/bits/c++config but see the primary
    documentation on the matter as well):
    
    // Default to the typically high-speed, pool-based allocator (as
    // libstdc++-v2) instead of the malloc-based allocator (libstdc++-v3
    // snapshots).  See libstdc++-v3/docs/html/17_intro/howto.html for
    // details on why you don't want to override this setting.  Ensure
    // that threads are properly configured on your platform before
    // assigning blame to the STL container-memory allocator.  After doing
    // so, please report any possible issues to libstdc++@gcc.gnu.org .
    // Do not blindly #define __USE_MALLOC here or on the command line.
    
    The problem with users defining __USE_MALLOC on the command
    line is that it is a subtle ABI change that may cause you
    problems...
