[patch] libffi/: check mmap() availability explicitly


Hello,

 The configure script in libffi/ relies on autoconf cache variables being
implictly set for its mmap() test.  Unfortunately with the current set of
autotools used they are not set (anymore, probably) -- it's easily
verifiable -- the first occurence of "ac_cv_header_sys_mman_h" and
"ac_cv_func_mmap" in libffi/configure are tests of their values.  Here is
a patch that fixes the problem for me.

2004-07-30  Maciej W. Rozycki  <macro@linux-mips.org>

	* acinclude.m4 (AC_FUNC_MMAP_BLACKLIST): Check for <sys/mman.h>
	and mmap() explicitly instead of relying on preset autoconf cache
	variables.
	* aclocal.m4: Regenerate.
	* configure: Regenerate.

 I think the fix should be considered obvious and despite being somewhat
dated, it is still needed for the trunk.  Please apply.

  Maciej
