Comment (by erikd):

 I added debug to `rts/posix/OSMem.c` to print out the values that were
 being passed to `mmap`. I then wrote a simple standalone program to see of
 `mmap` still failed with the same parameters outside of GHC. The program
 is:

 {{{
 #include 
 #include 
 #include 

 int
 main (void)
 {       void *addr = (void*) 0x200000000, *ret ;
         size_t size = 1099512676352 ;
         int prot = 0, flags = MAP_NORESERVE | MAP_ANON | MAP_PRIVATE ;

         ret = mmap(addr, size, prot, flags, -1, 0);
         if (ret == NULL) {
                 perror ("mmap") ;
                 exit (1) ;
         }

         puts ("Success!") ;
         return 0 ;
 }
 }}}

 and it compiled and ran successfully on the same machine where GHC is
 currently failing.
