memalign() is not guranteed to be compatible with free() or realloc() and for platforms in this category we have --enable-memalign-hack (which should be enabled automatically if such system is detected) Trying to somehow half support systems that can free() memalign memory but not reallocate it seems not worth the amount of work needed to keep 2 then incompatible allocation systems and ensure their seperation. That is unless this would affect a major platform on which we want to avoid the memalign hack code The warnings also cause wasted time and effort as people try to maintain a separation that does not exist currently.
