I don't know much about mmap, so I'm not going to comment on the 
specific implementation, but I do know it isn't available on all systems 
GDB supports. E.g. Windows.

You'll need to put in a configure test and/or use conditional 
compilation for this stuff.

You probably knew this already, but I thought I would mention it anyway.
