Invalid, because you break strict aliasing rules:

   Free*     first=new(data)Free(&free0,size);

>From this point, you access data of type unsigned[] as type Free. C++ says that 
you cannot access an object (unsigned) through a lvalue of another object 
(Free). This is allowed only with chars. I think changing data[] to char type 
ought to work.

I have not studied in details the code, but writing a memory allocator is often 
impossible without breaking the aliasing rules of C++. You may want to compile 
that very file with -fno-strict-aliasing.
