>Description:
The mmap configure test in gcc subdirectory has this comment for test_3:

Getting two adjacent 1-page regions with two mmap calls is slightly
tricky.  All OS's tested skip over already-allocated blocks; therefore
we have been careful to unmap all allocated regions in previous tests.
HP/UX allocates pages backward in memory.  No OS has yet been observed
to be so perverse as to leave unmapped space between consecutive calls
to mmap.

Solaris 8 & 9 leave unmapped space (which isn't perverse, BTW),
so the test fails. Running the test yields something like:

test 3 nonconsecutive pages - ff380000, ff360000
>How-To-Repeat:
Just run the test.
>Fix:
I've added the second argument to anonmap() and if that
argument isn't zero, it's passed as the first argument to
mmap(), along with MAP_FIXED flag. I've modified test_3()
to use it for the second mapping. With that in place, the
whole mmap test succeeds.
