| Ashish,

| As you see, we here lack expertise in FreeBSD/arm internals that's

| suggest how to fix the FreeBSD/arm build due to elimination of sbrk?

| Emacs 25.2 will begin its pretest shortly, and it would be a shame if

| due to this development in FreeBSD libc.

Hi,

Thanks for your time, looking at the issue. One of the FreeBSD developer has
pointed me to this ongoing discussion[1] on freebsd-hackers@ list.
