most functions like this dont have any real libc component ... uClibc
will define userspace symbols that merely make a syscall iff the __NR_
exists in the headers
if we have __NR_mremap in our unistd.h, we'll automagically get the
mremap() symbol in uClibc which simply passes along the args to the
kernel
