I think the warning for the mmap'd memory is not a problem, just needed to b

Add these snippets to your program:
#ifdef __BOUNDS_CHECKING_ON
void __bound_new_region(void *p, size_t size);
int __bound_delete_region(void *p);
#endif
... somewhere early in main, before forking, and before accessing errno ...
#ifdef __BOUNDS_CHECKING_ON
__bound_new_region(&errno, sizeof (errno));
#endif
Keep in mind that errno is a thread local variable (which is also the
reason why it doesn't work out-of-box, like some other global vars like
stdout work), so you would have to register each new errno location after
you create a new thread. With the above two functions you can also write
a wrapper for mmap/munmap that suits you.
We could also register at least errno for the main thread at program start
(in __bounds_init), but it'd still not be a complete solution for
multi-threaded programs (let's ignore all other problems connected with
TCCs bound checking and multiple threads), so I'm split-mind about this.
Ciao,
Michael.
