+Portability problems not fixed by Gnulib:
+@itemize
+@item
+This function is missing on some platforms:
+mingw, MSVC 9, BeOS.
+@item
+Attempts to @code{shmat} into a previously malloc-ed region fail on SunOS 4,
+with @code{errno} set to @code{EINVAL}, even if there is an @code{munmap} call
+in between.
+@item
+On Linux, the flag @code{SHM_REMAP} is needed in order to force @code{shmat}
+to replace existing memory mappings in the specify address range. On other
+platforms, it is not needed.
