Here, I'd rather mark binpath as ATTRIBUTE_UNUSED than add the #else
preprocessor conditional. That is, ATTRIBUTE_UNUSED means only that the
variable might be unused, not that it can't be used (so used on linux,
unused otherwise qualifies).

Food for a separate patch: I see no reason why virFileLinkPointsTo won't work on cygwin. That is, the fact that we used #ifdef __linux__ is wrong, since cygwin also has a working /proc/pid/ file tree to determine if an executable is still valid; we should instead be doing #if PROCFS_AVAIL, along with some sort of configuration check that accepts both linux and cygwin procfs (or at least whatever aspect of procfs that we are relying on in this function).
