Rats! that is what I did (just copy over v850's).

Didn't make any difference... so I thought.

Oh, that's the trick, thanks.

Huh? I played with this a bunch yesterday, to no avail.  Well
seems to work now, at least, test/mmap usefully indicates:

    % ./mmap
    mmap returned 0x2aaa8000
    %

Thanks yet again... you can submit your own patch :-) or just
copy over v850's.


Hmmm, when I invoke uclibc version of "busybox vi test.txt" I get
"vi: memory exhausted".

Next...
