Comment:

 Hmm... I think we can't use mmap for powerpc builds not only on darwin but
 on every operation systems, since relative branches with 24-bits
 displacement should not be darwin specific.

 So the correct fix would be to disable mmap and enable oc->misalignment
 when defined(powerpc_HOST_ARCH).
