Yes, so doing...

The fact this line was missing was the second cause of failure. But it
isn't enough, because the static grow() function is totally broken.
Obviously, these functions have never been tested.

I searched that code on the web, it seems that it comes from an old
version of the glibc. The current glibc is totally different.

This is a big problem with the MiNTLib. It contains MiNT related stuff
(it is good), as well as a large amount of code coming from the glibc.
But that code is never updated.

Adding MiNT functionality to the MiNTLib is our job. But fixing the GNU
bugs which have been fixed for several years in the official
repositories is not. And that obstream stuff is totally unrelated to
MiNT, we all spent our time on things already fixed by other people. This is bad.
