mmap() is a standard libc function, defined in sys/mman.h.

Either there's something wrong with your build environment, or there's
a problem with msql2's autodetection system.

The problem with autodetection systems (e.g. autoconf) is that if a
test case fails because some possibility hasn't been accounted for,
the error message is often way off of the mark. In this case, the
problem may actually be with mmap(), but it's also entirely possible
that the problem is something totally unrelated.
