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.

This function is not part of POSIX.1-2001. So it does not seem to be part of POSIX. But I have no strong opinion. Maybe another developer could chime in and push me to one or another side :-).
