I can surely provide you a fix once I look at sources. But seems  you
have more than one problems that may not be fixed. So upgrading has a
slight chance of fixing both of your issues and introducing many more
:) but lets try upgrade route and if then
we need 4.7 patch ping me.

Nice as long as the things are fixed I am happy.

just #include <unistd.h> in ipc/chromium/src/base/file_util.cc should fix it
