I very much doubt it.

IO destruction is a huge can of worms, just look at some of the interesting
glibc bugs.  It is an area which is essentially unsolvable.
Most other stuff isn't destructed by glibc at all, there is __libc_freeres
exactly to make valgrind/mtrace etc. happy, but still not free otherwise.
