This is common behaviour. The build process is self-bootstrapping.
Sometimes the process falls over, but if you try again it works.
The bug seems to have disappeared. It hasn't .. there's still a
bug in the build processing not quite doing things in the right
order for a fully optimised linear build sequence.
It's supposed to work, out of the box, but it is very hard
for developers to test this, because we're typically not
building from a completely clean slate.

Cygwin should work now (there was a long standing bug,
but I eventually found it).
BTW: the general rule is once you have it running, you would
delete lpsrc and refetch it from CVS to get the latest version:
it's more fragile, but we can fix bugs and implement
'feature requests' very quickly on the head.
But don't do this quite yet .. because we're right in the
middle of switching over to svn.

That's OK: this is a known and as yet unresolved problem.
Cygwin supports mmap, but only Linux has the flag
ANONYMOUS
which allows mapping pages from your standard paging file.
The test should not be run, except on Linux.
Unfortunately .. ANONYMOUS is essential. I have no idea
why it isn't in Posix.
