How many unix platforms support none of the above?

I guess not many. So lets backport it and see if we get a bug report
where this fails to build. This may also help to create a good test
for detecting it correctly


Would #ifdef HAVE_UNISTD_H be an appropriate wrapper for this,
or could you have a unistd without chroot?


I don't know.
