I want to compile a program into /usr/local/bin but it doesn't work to call
"/usr/local/bin/<program>" with execv and needs to be called with execvp
which doesn't seem to allign with the text of the manpage which states that
execvp is needed when no '/' are used.

I don't want the program to need to rely upon searching through execution
paths to find the program. I want it to be portable in openbsd systems and
I don't want to presume that /usr/local/bin is listed in .profile

I feel that this is a bug; if not in the source code, then in the manual.
