mmap huge page and MAP_SYNC flag support

[David Frank]

 Thanks Valdis.Looks like the failure is that I can not write to a 2GB buffer (char bf[2GB size]).Where do I get the distro include file?

Get your distro to ship an update to /usr/include/linux  (kernel-headers) that
contains the flag.  Your kernel supports it, but your toolchain doesn't until
you get an include file that includes the update for MAP_SYNC

What error code does it fail with?
