My concern about your changes is how this will work with other
Free Software designed to be compiled by G++. If the storage is allocated
and merged on GNU/Linux, but not on AIX, then many Free Software
applications making that assumption and compiled for AIX will not work.
Instructing all of those application developers to add explicit
instantiations for AIX does not seem like a viable strategy. Trying to
better mimic GNU/Linux semantics seems like a better approach.
