The idea is that libbacktrace should be able to build on all targets, at least in a minimally-functional form: https://gcc.gnu.org/ml/gcc/2015-08/msg00038.html
libgfortran should continue to build on all targets, even those that don’t have an mmap().

I see that there is a test in libbacktrace/configure.ac for mmap(), but apparently it fails on your system:

--------------------------------
AC_CHECK_HEADERS(sys/mman.h)
if test "$ac_cv_header_sys_mman_h" = "no"; then
  have_mmap=no
else
  if test -n "${with_target_subdir}"; then
    # When built as a GCC target library, we can't do a link test.  We
    # simply assume that if we have mman.h, we have mmap.
    have_mmap=yes
  else
    AC_CHECK_FUNC(mmap, [have_mmap=yes], [have_mmap=no])
  fi
fi
--------------------------------

So this should be the place to patch things up. Relying on the presence of <sys/mman.h> is apparently not restrictive enough. Maybe we could use a AC_EGREP_HEADER test, as is currently done for dl_interate_phdr()?
