For the rename problem, I propose an alternate patch.  This treats it 
like fcntl.  The existing flags HAVE_RENAME and 
REENTRANT_SYSCALLS_PROVIDED flags are used.  If you say HAVE_RENAME and 
REENTRANT_SYSCALLS_PROVIDED, then you are assumed to provide _rename_r 
like the other syscalls.  This should not cause any problems for 
existing platforms.

Please explain the scenario further.  I don't understand why locking 
and, more importantly, subsequently unlocking the file causes a problem 
for you.
