madvise()?

If you do:

  #define posix_madvise madvise

then I've managed to fix the build issues on uClibc v0.9.32.

Problem is, I'm not sure there's a clean way to detect posix_madvise /
madvise presence; it must be done by hand in the configure script.

Anyway, it all sounds like too much work to fix such a small use case.
