Regardless of the future of the syscall approach, I think limiting ourselves to
external mmap symbols is a good idea. And if it fixes your problem -- great.
It would be good to have a test for that, though. Maybe something like this
would do?
static void *mmap() { return (void *)47; }
int call_me() { return 42; }
int main() {
mmap();
return call_me();
}
right now, I am unable to evaluate `call_me()` with lldb. I guess your patch
should make that possible?

Your understanding is correct, at least at the object file level -- I'm not
sure whether `IsWeak()` implies `IsExternal()` inside lldb. However, I would
actually argue for removal of IsWeak() for a different reason -- any weak
definition of mmap is not going to be used by the process since libc already
has a strong definition of that symbol.
If we really end up in a situation where we only have a weak mmap symbol
around, then this is probably a sufficiently strange setup that we don't want
to be randomly calling that function.
