    libstdc++: Add comment about memalign requirements
    
    The memalign man page on Solaris and QNX lists an additional requirement
    for the alignment value that is not present in all implementation of
    that non-standard function. For both those targets we should actually be
    using posix_memalign anyway, so it doesn't matter. This just adds a
    comment making note of that fact.
    
    libstdc++-v3/ChangeLog:
    
            * libsupc++/new_opa.cc (aligned_alloc): Add comment.
