madvise is not portable. posix_madvise must be used instead. 
posix_madvise, POSIX_MADV_NORMAL, POSIX_MADV_SEQUENTIAL, 
POSIX_MADV_RANDOM, POSIX_MADV_WILLNEED, and POSIX_MADV_DONTNEED must be 
declared in sys/mman.h.

Check your /usr/include/sys dir, maybe glibc uses non-standard location 
for the defines.
