There is already a clean, portable way to achieve the exact same

fsetxattrat is missing, though. Probably more.
I also don't see how we can actually implement something like
pthread_detach_pwd without adding and awful lot of wrappers. It's
certainly not just open and fopen, but anything that expects a path name.
(By the way, I think UID and GID are more problematic in this area.)
