Looks like this occurs in './src/microcode/ux.c'.

mmap on OpenBSD returns 'ENOTSUP' in this case.  Maybe add a 'perror' call (or even a custom warning about W^X)?

Also see https://man.openbsd.org/mmap for more info.

This happens because MIT Scheme currently requires a writable and executable heap, which OpenBSD forbids by default.

You may be able to work around this by building MIT Scheme on a file system mounted with the `wxallowed' option: https://man.openbsd.org/mount#wxallowed

The solution is to move executable code out of the regular heap in MIT Scheme, but it takes a lot of engineering work to make that happen.

Trying to compile with release binaries for 11.2 - tried with gmake and make, both as root and regular user
After applying https://git.savannah.gnu.org/cgit/mit-scheme.git/commit/?h=release-11&id=6cbeeb17862a16feb7df6c2610cb1174de2f8e58

it will get past the FILE * error, but now I am getting this:

(cd x11 && make)
echo '(sf "x11-const")' | ../run-build --batch-mode
unable to mmap executable heap -- native code will probably FailSegmentation fault (core dumped)
* Error 139 in x11 (Makefile:1310 'x11-const.bin')
* Error 2 in ~/src/mit-scheme-11.2/src (Makefile:644 'compile-x11-c')

output from cc --version is
OpenBSD clang version 13.0.0
Target: amd64-unknown-openbsd7.2
Thread model: posix
InstalledDir: /usr/bin

I haven't been able to find much on what would cause this mmap issue - any insight is greatly appreciated.
