Broken autoconf mmap test

What's the status of the broken autoconf mmap test, which always fails 
on Cygwin even though Cygwin has a working mmap?  The last message I can 
find on the cygwin list is from November 2009:

   http://cygwin.com/ml/cygwin/2009-11/msg00368.html

Was this ever resolved?  I see that cygport is still using the workaround

   export ac_cv_func_mmap_fixed_mapped=yes

in autotools.cygclass.  And I still have to do something similar when 
building texlive, even though the latter uses autoconf 2.68.
