It looks like you're right.  getpagesize is not standardized, but
according to doc/glibc-functions claims that every platform that has
mprotect also has a working getpagesize, so it's not like memchr.m4 is
going to encounter a compilation/link failure for use of an undefined
getpagesize.

I concur; go ahead and commit your suggested change.
