I think that's because fsext is called from _open, _read, etc. which
are called from ANSI functions, and so fsext cannot call close, which
is non-ANSI.  I think the solution is simply to call _close instead,
because that's what close does anyway.

As for tempnam, it is called by tmpfile, which is ANSI, and so the
fact that tempnam calls access (a non-ANSI function) is a problem.

I think it could be a good idea to get libc build procedure to run
libclink/check automatically when the library is built, and abort the
build if something fails to check out.  Would you like to add this?

No clue.  Doesn't the source tell? ;-)
