    libc - Use sbrk() system call, remove brk()
    
    * Attempt to use the kernel sbrk() system call.  If it fails
      with EOPNOTSUPP, back-off to the older libc sbrk() emulation
      code which uses still-present but obsolete break() system call.
    
    * Changes support both old and new kernels.  Older kernels do not
      implement the sbrk() system call, causing the call to return
      -1/EOPNOTSUPP.  Note that older kernels did not generate an
      ENOSYS/signal for sbrk().
    
    * sbrk() cannot support negative increments.  Allow only 0 and positive
      increments.
    
    * Fix MPSAFE issues (requires new kernels) while we are here.
    
    * Remove brk() support entirely.  This was also emulated in older
      kernels using break().
    
    * These changes are necessary in order to support mmap() hinting above
      RLIMIT_DATA's current value.  Older kernels only support hinting above
      the system maximum value (above the 32GB mark).  Several languages in
      dports really want to mmap() addresses below 4GB.
