Hi Paul,

I want to clarify one point: arm64 support was first available in a
release in FreeBSD 11.0, without sbrk, and sbrk never existed on the
stable/11 branch.

It's important for us that emacs works on FreeBSD (including
FreeBSD/arm64) and there are folks willing to help make that happen. I
had a quick look at emacs' source, and it seems there's an
implementation that allocates memory out of a large array in .bss used
for some platforms - could we make use of that here?
