[Bug ports/4822] New: grow_heap: static linking warns about madvise() not implemented


When statically linking on a system on which madvise() wasn't ported, the linker complains:

/bin/../lib/gcc/i486-gnu/4.0.4/../../../libcrt.a(malloc.o): In function `grow_heap':
(.text+0x3t4): warning: warning: madvise is not implemented and will always fail

should there really be such linker warning for madvise() whose failure doesn't have any semantic consequences, just no boost of performance?
