You're asking why the XFree86Server test is used in exemem.c?

I don't know the details, but the old CVS log for execmem.c has:

revision 1.2.2.3
date: 2005-10-21 18:09:24 +0000;  author: idr;  state: Exp;  lines: +1 -1
Make execmem.c compile in the server (libGLcore).  Since xf86mmap
doesn't know about MAP_ANONYMOUS, this is the only viable fix.  This
issue will likely have to be revisited at some point.
