Subject: Use special allocator to allocate the heap when running under Linux.
X-Git-Tag: 20090517-FFI~5298
X-Git-Url: https://birchwood-abbey.net/git?a=commitdiff_plain;h=b694e6570a11abc61916fc1df0efe1b6d63e489a;p=mit-scheme.git

Use special allocator to allocate the heap when running under Linux.
Linux ELF pushes the text and data segments up into high addresses,
leaving most of the low addresses empty.  To get access to them, we
must use mmap.
