Switching into the man? subdirectories when running man2html(1)
caused a bug where ".so dir/page.n" links were misinterpreted
(because the directory prefix was interpreted with respect to
the current directory)i, and consequently, the link files
were not correctly rendered. There's no need to switch into the
subdirectories.

This page uses some idiosyncratic mark-up involving the use of
a groff register. The mark-up actually makes no difference to
the formatted result, but does cause man2html(1) to emit error
messages, since it does not understand the mark-up. So, remove
that mark-up.

Use the glibc prototypes instead of the kernel ones.
