Hello all,

I recently tried to build gem5 on RHEL5 (I know, I know) and it complained 
about missing the fallocate() system call added in 
https://gem5.googlesource.com/public/gem5/+/cc84eb81

The current hardcoded assumption is that Linux will have access to this system 
call ( 
https://gem5.googlesource.com/public/gem5/+/93d8e6b898a70a3f6dba9da385d5933683bf325f/src/sim/syscall_emul.hh#55
 ), but ancient Linux does not. Does it make sense to add a scons configuration 
check for this so the define can be set dynamically or is RHEL5 too old to 
worry about for most users?

Regards,
Paul
