fsetxattrat is missing, though.  Probably more.

I also don't see how we can actually implement something like 
pthread_detach_pwd without adding and awful lot of wrappers.  It's 
certainly not just open and fopen, but anything that expects a path name.

(By the way, I think UID and GID are more problematic in this area.)
