 Replying to [comment:50 nbruin]:

 Then the question arises: Why is it not enough to pass the `--with-
 malloc=system` to Singular? Why did the additional changes become
 necessary that you made on five files in `src/omalloc/`?

 For example, you edited `src/omalloc/omAllocDecl.h` to make the emulation
 unconditional. Is that really needed, if there is a configuration option
 anyway?

 > But yes, these changes are best made with input from someone familiar
 with omalloc, so hopefully Hannes can help.

 I asked, but he didn't reply yet. Well, it's week-end, after all...
