You can change the setting of the bit that controls `sbrk' behavior at
runtime.  I think Charles Sandmann once told me that you can safely switch
from the unixy behavior to the default one any time, but you cannot go
back (am I right, Charles?).  If this is true, then you could set it to 
unixy by default and then change at runtime if needed.
