I reworked remove.c to use the then-new *at functions (openat, statat,
etc.) and when those kernel functions are not available, the code
falls back on using /proc-based emulation, when possible.
There's a still older approach (lib/save-cwd.c), which is what
earlier versions of coreutils use.

If you're stuck using glibc-2.5.x, can you stick with
the older version of coreutils, too?
