Ok, I see, when you mention Fiasco I always think of the kernel. So for
userland:

Regarding new/delete: No changes
Regarding modifying libstdc++, libsupc++ and libgcc: No changes, except
libgcc on ARM where Linux specific atomic ops are exchanged with L4
ones.
Regarding locks: We build against pthreads.

No.
