Disabling Memory Manager In TGE 1.5.2

I am trying to disable Torque's Memory Manager (am using STL instead). I am doing this on Linux but I imagine it is similar across all platforms. After having set the TORQUE_DISABLE_MEMORY_MANAGER flag in platform/platform.h and following all the advice I could find on the forums, I am still getting linking errors.

I tried commenting out the following in x86UNIXMemory.cc:

/*
//--------------------------------------
void* FN_CDECL operator new(dsize_t, void* ptr
{
return (ptr);
}
*/

But then when I got to the linking stage there were TONS of errors regard SimObjects along the lines of:

I just can't seem to get the linker happy. Can anyone offer any advice?
