On the context of the source code (it's an interpreter), PAGE_SIZE is indeed JIT_PAGE_SIZE (not the system page size, but the page size defined internally by the interpreter). On Linux, the name doesn't conflict. On Cygwin, I found on limits.h and cygwin/limits.h already defined PAGE_SIZE so it caused a naming conflict:

The Linux man page for mprotect says that the address MUST be aligned
(with the systems PAGE_SIZE).  Your call to posix_memalign is NOT
aligning the allocation with the systems PAGE_SIZE (65536), but with
your PAGE_SIZE (4096).

You need to allocate memory that is aligned with the systems PAGE_SIZE.

Eg.
if(posix_memalign((void**)&buffer, (PAGE_SIZE>JIT_PAGE_SIZE) ? PAGE_SIZE 
: JIT_PAGE_SIZE, available)) { ... }
