Embarassingly, libc++.so.1 has always depended on this C++17 specific variant of operator new. But FreeBSD's C++ ABI library, libcxxrt, has never supported this variant!

But recently the define _LIBCPP_DISABLE_NEW_DELETE_DEFINITIONS was toggled to on by default, which disables those definitions. This happened in 9b40ee8eb0c194f4b2787801ac6f9ef8fc1b8f46 ("[libc++] Define new/delete in libc++abi only by default") by Louis Dionne.

I'm not sure what the best solution is.  Can you file a bug for this and CC Louis.
