OK.

Not so sure about this one.  Does randomize_va_space actually make sense in
a nommu environment?  I guess we could load relocatable binaries into a
randomised place, but I'm not sure that this is implemented?

If no, then it would make more sense to do

	#define randomize_va_space 0

for nommu, so the relevant code gets thrown away by the compiler.
