That's what users are supposed to do, and it clearly works.

My guess is that the OTP team's autoconf-2.13 is different somehow
from the autoconf-2.13 .rpm in Fedora.

Why are you regenerating erts/configure? Do you have local
modifications to erts/configure.in?

If you add the "#include <sys/mman.h>" to hipe_x86.c as I
described, does the system then build OK, or do other things
still break because of the missing HAVE_MMAP?
