I don't understand the latter... I've written and checked what I've
posted under Solaris. It should also be noted that Solaris has
fchroot(2). Intended usage is to fd=open("/"), chroot("/else/where"), do
something there, fchroot(fd). Can't do on Linux... Or do you mean
support for statically linked applications?
