There are several placement new's, for example in thread.cpp and
task.cpp. Just look for "operator new" in those files.

Fiasco, the kernel, does not use libstdc++ nor libsupc++, and it also
does not modify libgcc as far as it is using it.

Generally, libstdc++ does not depend on Linux, it can for example also
use pthreads internally.

This is disabled by using -fno-threadsafe-statics.
