Andy, I grepped for 'memalign'.  Outside of the configuration system, I 
located it in these files:

./src/gc/malloc.c
./src/gc/malloc_trace.c
./tools/dev/parrot.supp
./include/parrot/platform_interface.h

Would they be unharmed if we removed both the configuration steps and 
these 2 memalign.c files?

Thank you very much.
