--- Comment #3 from Mark Johnston <markj@FreeBSD.org> ---
Looks like the binutils maintainers consider our use of _end to be a bug:
https://sourceware.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=3D23161

I don't see how we can implement brk()/sbrk() without it though. Looking at
glibc, they initialize curbrk using a seemingly undocumented kernel interfa=
ce:
on Linux, the brk() system call returns the current break address if the in=
put
break value is 0. Our SYS_break system call currently does not have a return
value... perhaps the right solution here is to add a similar hack and use t=
hat
in libc to initialize curbrk.
