Hey Jeff, this is starting to be a real FAQ, isn't it?

I wonder if it would be possible to override the prototype for new when
compiling with gcc < 3.4. I'm totally without knowledge on C++, so this may be
absolute nonsense, but I was think of something like:

#if GCC_CMAJOR_VERSION < 4 && GCC_MINOR_VERSION < 4
// override prototype new operator
::new (whatever)
#endif

or something to that effect...
