For the naive (ie me), is there a reason why real_path() couldn't be
re-implemented to avoid using chdir? I tried looking into the history of
the function but couldn't find anything explaining why it was done that
way. I assume it has to do with symlinks, but I thought there was a
syscall (readlink?) that could do the resolution.
