Linux will do it for us but not NetBSD. That is, if foo is an executable that prints the path /proc/self/exe points to, on Linux one gets:
$ ./foo /tmp/foo $ ln -s foo bar $ ln -s bar babar $ /tmp/babar /tmp/foo
But on NetBSD one gets instead:
$ ./foo /tmp/./foo $ ln -s foo bar $ ln -s bar babar $ /tmp/babar /tmp/babar
Fully dereferencing /proc/self/exe is necessary to be able to run both 32 and 64 bit executables from the build tree.

Using realpath() simplifies the code quite a bit and letting it allocate the memory itself seems to be part of POSIX.1-2008. But let me know if this self-allocating feature should be avoided or if realpath() should be avoided altogether (though note we're already using it in a couple of places).
