solaris has deprecated MAP_ANON as well.

MAP_ANONYMOUS

The mapping is not backed by any file; its contents are initial‐
ized to zero.  The fd and offset arguments are ignored; however,
some implementations require fd to be -1  if MAP_ANONYMOUS  (or
MAP_ANON)  is specified, and portable applications should ensure
this.  The use of MAP_ANONYMOUS in conjunction  with MAP_SHARED
is only supported on Linux since kernel 2.4.

what are you missing from this ?
