1203835 - Don't ship replace_jemalloc

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(Core :: Memory Allocator, defect)

Description

[Mike Hommey [:glandium]]

The idea is to essentially back out bug 1014300 for multiple reasons:
- With jemalloc 4 enabled, it's not built anymore
- If we ever disable jemalloc 4 to switch back to mozjemalloc, OS X build would break because of the asymmetry between x86 and x64 (we recently switched things on OS X builds that would cause this breakage)
- If we do the above temporarily, shipping replace_jemalloc is not very useful anyways.
- If we do the above permanently, shipping replace_jemalloc is not really going to achieve much.

Also, replace_jemalloc is the only replace malloc library with DMD that is being shipped. DMD has real usefulness. People who want to use replace_jemalloc with a nightly can still pick it from a local build, like other replace malloc libraries.
