Nope, it must have been an implicit declaration. I thought I remembered 
seeing it declared in gnulib already (which is why I assumed it wasn't 
an implicit declaration; NSK makes too many warnings to read when the 
compiler makes hard-to-read warnings to begin with) but I can't find it 
now, so I must be wrong. :-) Sorry for the confusion.

Anyway, I realized an fchdir.h is needed for the open()/etc replacement 
anyway. D'oh.
