That's expected unfortunately. The mmap test in autoconf (I know this failing test since at least version 2.13) checks the memory mapping using a UNIXism. It tries to mmap() a file to an already area already allocated using malloc(). This is plainly impossible on Win32 where the memory used for mmap must be unallocated and which has to reside in a special memory arae used for mappings. Therefore the autoconf mmap test must fail on Win32.
