The linux namual page (*) has good explanation of this in the BUGS section

(*) http://man7.org/linux/man-pages/man3/realpath.3.html


After reading that I think fixing that is not as simple as your previous
patch does it -- so probably you just have to keep patching your system
until NetBSD library realpath() is POSIX.1-2008 -compatible.

Note that having users' own patches in their systems is not uncommon
at all :D
