getpagesize() was introduced in QNX 6.4.1, it is present in QNX 6.5.0
also. So at least for this version checking is requied.

David asked to leave NO_GETPAGESIZE for other platform.

Do you have a testcase for this (without using git codebase)? I wrote
numerous resource managers since QNX 6.0 using threads and fork()s for
daemonization in different order and never experienced a problems.
There can be issues with pipes in case of external command run.
