NetBSD 6.1 only have partial linkat(2). NetBSD-current (will-be
NetBSD-7.0) has all extended API set 2, except fexecve(2) and O_EXEC for
which no consensus was reached on how to implment it securely.
In a nutshell, switching to *at() kills NetBSD compatibility until next
major release, but I already know it will be restored at that time.
