Yes I agree.  I'll ask review for my patch before committing it against 
-HEAD.

What I feel a bit concern is that if we force configure script not to 
use openat() we may lose the chance that these functions get exercised 
which will not be good  Perhaps something like BROKEN would be better 
because they will be checked later, but that's only my $0.02 :)
