Hmm... IMHO this points out a bug; if MREMAP_MAYMOVE is not present,
that doesn't imply that mremap() doesn't work at all; instead, a
resize may fail if the mapping would have to be moved to a different
virtual address.  Quoting from the Linux man page:

       MREMAP_MAYMOVE
              indicates  if  the operation should fail, or change
              the virtual address if the resize cannot be done at
              the current virtual address.

I think the correct fix is to simply specify MREMAP_MAYMOVE if it's
defined, but still support attempting to resize. Possibly the
configure script should also check for mremap()'s existence.
