Some classes use custom new operator which zeroes memory, however gcc does
aggressive dead-store elimination which threats all writes to the memory
before the constructor as "dead stores".

For now we disable this optimization.

The new operators in question are declared via:
 DECLARE_RZALLOC_CXX_OPERATORS
 DECLARE_LINEAR_ZALLOC_CXX_OPERATORS

The issue was found with lto builds, however there is no guarantee that
it didn't happen with ordinary ones.
