 On unusual operating systems/processors/kernels or weird libraries this might
 fail so to change the fixed address at compile time set
 AFL_LLVM_MAP_ADDR with a better value (a value of 0 or empty sets the map address
 to be dynamic - the original afl way, which is slower).
-AFL_LLVM_MAP_DYNAMIC can be set so the shared memory address is dynamic (which
