++You need to set the sysctl vm.max_proc_mmap to 0 (to disable it) in
++/etc/sysctl.conf to compile the whole compiler. This sysctl specifies
++the maximum number of mmap()'d spaces (discrete vm_map_entry's in the
++process). The garbage collector uses a lot of mmap()'d spaces with
++different protection bits. (See discussion on
++freebsd-current at lists.freebsd.org from 16 Feb 2000 with the title
++"Heads up, vm.max_proc_mmap sysctl added" for more details).

++Otherwise you'll get the following error message:
++MPS ASSERTION FAILURE: addr == (void *)base
