Yes, the memory spaces were rearranged, but they were made SMALLER in
the actual version

Please correct me if I'm wrong

old parms.lisp (rev. 1.66)
#!+linux
(progn
  (def!constant read-only-space-start     #x01000000)
  (def!constant read-only-space-end       #x037ff000)

  (def!constant static-space-start        #x05000000)
  (def!constant static-space-end          #x07fff000)

  (def!constant dynamic-space-start       #x09000000)
  (def!constant dynamic-space-end         #x29000000)

  (def!constant linkage-table-space-start #x70000000)
  (def!constant linkage-table-space-end   #x7ffff000))

versus actual parms.lisp (rev. 1.69)
#!+linux
(progn
  (def!constant read-only-space-start     #x01000000)
  (def!constant read-only-space-end       #x010ff000)

  (def!constant static-space-start        #x01100000)
  (def!constant static-space-end          #x011ff000)

  (def!constant dynamic-space-start       #x09000000)
  (def!constant dynamic-space-end         #x29000000)

  (def!constant linkage-table-space-start #x01200000)
  (def!constant linkage-table-space-end   #x012ff000))


Nice to have would be a "BIG_SYSTEM" config option or similar for people
that need a lot of memory
