I know nothing about mmap, but a quick grep shows the following on Debian sid.
bits/mman.h is #included by sys/mman.h:
02:51:51> [xsdg{intercal}@/usr/include]
$ack MAP_ANON
asm-generic/mman.h
21:#define MAP_ANONYMOUS 0x20 /* don't use a file */
bits/mman.h
53:# define MAP_ANONYMOUS 0x20 /* Don't use a file. */
54:# define MAP_ANON MAP_ANONYMOUS
--xsdg
PS. ack-grep is awesome: http://betterthangrep.com/
curl http://ack.googlecode.com/svn/tags/latest/ack > ~/bin/ack && chmod 0755 !$
