Android.
And Linux if you enable it explicitely (used for debugging).

glandium: this used to block 828844, which suggests that the custom linker uses the system heap. But then you removed that dependency. Which allocator does the custom linker use now?

Now that the custom linker a) doesn't do much b) isn't enabled on Android 6.0+, we can do without this.
