Looks like a semaphore.h needs to define O_CREAT and O_EXCL (just
having it include fcntl.h looks to be okay according to
http://www.opengroup.org/onlinepubs/009695399/basedefs/semaphore.h.html )

You'll need to include "options P1003_1B_SEMAPHORES" in your kernel
config, or load the "sem" kernel module.
