On linux, when the build variable USE_NED_ALLOCATOR is set, gcc
issues the following warnings:
In file included from compat/nedmalloc/nedmalloc.c:63:
.../malloc.c.h: In function 'mmap_resize':
.../malloc.c.h:3762: warning: implicit declaration of function 'mremap'
.../malloc.c.h: In function 'sys_trim':
.../malloc.c.h:4195: warning: comparison between pointer and integer
The warnings are caused by the <sys/mman.h> header not enabling the
(conditional) declaration of the mremap() function. The declaration
can be enabled by defining the _GNU_SOURCE symbol prior to including
certain system header files. In particular, it may not be sufficient
to simply define _GNU_SOURCE just prior to including the <sys/mman.h>
header. (e.g. defining the symbol after including <sys/types.h> will
be completely ineffective.)
In order to suppress the warnings, we define the _GNU_SOURCE symbol
at the start of the malloc.c.h header file.
