As far as I know, the Windows API doesn't define sbrk, it's an Unix system
call. MSVC (and mingw, which uses the Windows API) won't compile mmalloc.
You can try Cygwin (http://www.cygwin.com/), it emulates Unix calls on top
of the Windows API. If you manage to compile and run lper on Windows using
Cygwin, I'd like to hear about it. It should work, as Cygwin comes with an
working gdb.

As for another mmalloc implementation for Windows, I think the only library
which maps the malloc'ed memory into a file is mmalloc.
