What about canonicalizing argv[optind] ?
Or do we want the ability to force chroot(2) like this:

  $ src/chroot / env pwd
  /home/berny/git/coreutils

  $ src/chroot /. env pwd
  src/chroot: cannot change root directory to /.: Operation not permitted

Probably this might be bit confusing - while some other guys
might use this difference to check for superuser privileges ...
... and fall over once we'll fix this.

Thanks & have a nice day,
Berny
