Mmalloc supports saving and restoring allocated regions from a file,
via mmap.  Theoretically, we use it to write loaded symbol data to a
file and read it in again; quicker and more memory-friendly than
rebuilding it each session.

I don't know if it works in current CVS GDB; but I'm pretty sure
Apple's using it and they keep talking about contributing the rest of
the fixes for it back to us.

It's much the same principle as PCH.
