> Lisp environments can produce standalone executables

If you've got a stand-alone executable, you don't need MAP_FIXED.  The
ELF loader maps the program at a fixed address anyway (at least on
i386 and x86_64, I haven't checked others).

AFAIK, PolyML has recently made the switch to stand-alone executables
for this reason.
