AC_FUNC_MMAP on 64-bit Sun with Sun's C++ compiler

[Bill Clarke]

Sun's recent C++ compilers will not allow a cast from a pointer (e.g.,
char *) to an int when compiling for 64-bit architecture.  This means
that AC_FUNC_MMAP fails, since it has a cast from char* to an integer.
The fix is to cast to long instead; I think this is even more portable
than was the case, since long is more usually the same size as pointer.
With this patch, AC_FUNC_MMAP now correctly determines that mmap works
with Sun's C++ when compiling for 64-bit arch.

(apologies if mozilla wraps the patch, but it is trivial)

cheers,
