67 One solution for this could be to define SYSTEM_MALLOC in configure,
68 but that does not currently work on this system.
70 It is possible to completely override the malloc implementation on
71 AIX, but that involves putting the malloc functions in a shared

76 to avoid a crash just use the Emacs implementation for that function. */
