Seems like this latest snapshot mmotm-2018-01-04-16-19 has not been
updated in this git tree. I could not fetch not it shows up in the
http link below.

The last one mmotm-2017-12-22-17-55 seems to have some regression on
powerpc with respect to ELF loading of binaries (see below). Seems to
be related to recent MAP_FIXED_SAFE (or MAP_FIXED_NOREPLACE as seen
now in the code). IIUC (have not been following the series last month)
MAP_FIXED_NOREPLACE will fail an allocation request if the hint address
cannot be reserve instead of changing existing mappings. Is it possible
that ELF loading needs to be fixed at a higher level to deal with these
new possible mmap() failures because of MAP_FIXED_NOREPLACE ?
