Please point out the sentence.

The closest I could find is:

   * Static data region(s). In the simplest case, this is the region
     between DATASTART and DATAEND, as defined in gcconfig.h. However,
     in most cases, this will also involve static data regions
     associated with dynamic libraries. These are identified by the
     mostly platform-specific code in dyn_load.c.

But that doesn't clearly state if mmapped regions are in or out. I would
have assumed they were in.
