>Description:
NetBSD needs the POSIX.1 functions pathconf() and fpathconf().
More and more POSIX aware software detects the presence of the
_PC_FOO constants in <unistd.h>, and attempts to use pathconf().
A short term solution would be to ifdef out the _PC_FOO constants.
This is probably more difficult to implement, as every filesystem
needs to be changed.
