 JdBP> It would appear that "emx\public.h" is a private header file

yes, it is...

 JdBP> One has to ask why it thinks that it is necessary
 JdBP> for it to provide its *own* declaration of _chdir() .

 JdBP> Or even why it is using such a function at all.

i don't know the answers to either of those... however, here's what 
emx\public.h contains for that var... plus the header comments... hummm??

--
-- DESCRIPTION
--      This file is generated by 'genpub'.  Function declarations
--      that appear in this file are extracted by 'genpub' from
--      source files.  Any function in the source file whose definition
--      appears like:
--
--          PUBLIC return_type
--          function( arg_list );
--          type_expr1 arg1;
--          ...
--
--      has its definition extracted and a line of the form:
--
--          return_type function ANSI((type_expr1,type_expr2,...));
--
--      entered into the output file.
