I had a chat with some of the *san people (mostly from Google Moscow) quite recently.  They've refactored most of the code so it should be fairly obvious where the platform-specific bigs are.  In most cases, it's just some interposition on malloc() and friends, which should be relatively easy to port.

I'd love for us to have this stuff in the base system, and even versions of the base libraries (and programs) compiled to use them.
