[erlang-bugs] R16A : 2 issues in WX driver compilation

[Patrik Nyblom]

I suppose you could try to just edit erts/<your platorm>/config.h after 
you've run configure and remove #define HAVE_FALLOCATE 1, or in some 
other way disable fallocate. Configure should detect that it does not 
work, but the configure test does not do its job in this case. The 
Erlang system does not depend on fallocate, it just tries to use it if 
it exists and works.
