>Description:
execvP(3) is used in fsck for example. The manpage exec(3) describes
execvP, but man execvP returns an error due to the mlink missing.
>How-To-Repeat:
run man execvP, and see error about no manpage found.
run man 3 exec, and observe the manpage describing execvP as well.
>Fix:
Add MLINK for execvP(3).
