Is this a change from 6.8.3? NetBSD currently provides 6.8.3 as an
optional package for NetBSD/i386 4.0, with ghci included and without
any mmap patches as far as I know. It was also working for me on
NetBSD/amd64 (which is the platform that would actually need MAP_32BIT?)
Yes, the code changed in the HEAD, and currently uses mremap(), which only
exists on Linux. We need similar hacks that were done in 6.8.3 to get the
BSDs to work, that is to allocate memory from some predefined address in
the lower 2Gb of the address space.
Cheers,
Simon
