>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.
