[Bug libc/1458] New: mremap() fifth argument and MREMAP_FIXED not exposed in glibc


Since 2.3.31, the Linux kernel has allowed an additional 'flags' value for
mremap(): MREMAP_FIXED (defined with the value 2), which serves a similar
purpose to the mmap() MAP_FIXED flag.  If this flag is supplied, then mremap()
employs a fifth argument, 'new_address', which specifies a fixed address to
which the mapping should be relocated.  Currently, glibc does not expose the
MREMAP_FIXED definition and the mremap() prototype does not expose the fifth
argument.  Can these definitions please be exposed in glibc.
