It is pretty high (2 GB), out of the overall 3 GB address space. So
unless you use up all of the lower 2 GB of space, you're not going to
run into the brk.
In any case I don't see how sliding the executable mapping by 128 MB
is going to change this, you still have exactly as much address space
available before the BRK_START, but now it's (partly) below the
executable mapping and not after it.
It would really help to look at a specific executable. What did you
have in mind when you wrote 3130514bd99bdc4cf8a51e24be2d8bf6f1e47f62?
