+ dnl So far, we know of three platforms that do this:
+ dnl * glibc >= 2.33, thanks to the fix for this bug:
+ dnl <https://sourceware.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=17924>
+ dnl * OpenBSD >= 4.5, thanks to this commit:
+ dnl <https://cvsweb.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/cvsweb/src/lib/libc/stdlib/malloc.c.diff?r1=1.100&r2=1.101&f=h>
+ dnl * Solaris, because its malloc() implementation is based on brk(),
+ dnl not mmap(); hence its free() implementation makes no system calls.
+ dnl For other platforms, you can only be sure if they state it in their
+ dnl documentation, or by code inspection of the free() implementation in libc.
