Hi Kevin,

It looks like the openat and unlinkat system calls were added to Linux in kernel 2.6.16; library support was added to glibc in version 2.4.

    Hi Micah, do you happen to know where the upgrade is needed?  Is it
    glibc, a version of gcc, etc?  That will help us dig into it more for a
    patch for others.  We are DEFINITELY working on the upgrade.
