I think we should leave function and only use separate script
if there will be problems.  I don't remember anything about
portability problems with functions in shell-scripts.

Perhaps, defining MAP_FAILED in source if it is not yet defined would
be better than extra code in configure script.  For instance,
MAP_FAILED can be defined in some header file which is not included
when we test for MAP_FAILED in configure script.
