Hi Raju,
I don't think the page size is ever assumed statically.
So it is probably not necessary to modify/recompile anything.
Quote from man getpagesize(2):
Generally, one uses binaries that are dependent on the
architecture but not on the machine model, in order to have a single
binary distribution per architecture. This means that a user program
should not find PAGE_SIZE at compile time from a header file, but use
an actual system call, at least for those architectures (like sun4)
where this dependency exists.
