For designed-for-NetBSD code, callers already need changing to use
fexecve at all, so I don't see that as a big deal.  If I've read what
you wrote right, that's what other implementations do, so
designed-for-elsewhere code probably expects that.  And, for what
little it may be worth, my preference would be that fexecve act like
execve in this respect.

So, all of those point in the same direction: close it iff CLOEXEC is
set on it.
