[Gcl-devel] cannot trap sbrk

[Andrey G. Grozin]

Hello,

I'm trying to build gcl-2.6.8 with debian patch 36 on a Gentoo linux box. 
Configure fails:

This computer runs linux-2.6.26 kernel (more exactly, with tuxonice, but I 
don't think it matters). I've successfully built the same gcl on another 
Gentoo box, with 2.6.25 kernel. I see something about randomized sbrk; 
maybe, I should recompile the kernel and disable it?

Many thanks in advance,
Andrey
