I don't have much experience in this area, but are you sure
that M_MMAP_THRESHOLD does indeed exist after including this header
in an app?
This may easily be one of the cases where it gets defined by the header
*only* in case a specific "SDK variant/mode" define was provided by the user.
(see e.g. the popular case of math.h, where certain defines have to be provided
before including it, in order to gain access to certain features)

If this is the case here, then CheckSymbolExists.cmake perhaps should be
extended to document these potential include pre-conditions.


The best way to verify define existence would obviously be a more _manual_ 
compile setup
of a dummy source plus header include.
