Newlib at least uses sbrk, presumably because only requiring that, as
opposed to requiring a fully functional memory mapping interface which
may not exist on whatever it is ported to, is far easier. I suspect
that other smaller and/or embedded-focused libraries that don't assume a
kernel such as Linux or BSD probably also still use sbrk.
