Follow-up Comment #5, bug #21999 (project coreutils):
Just checked other programs, and ls.c deals with dirfd() returning -1 and
falls back to using an alternative.
It seems to me that remove.c doesn't check the return status of dirfd() ever
failing and tries to do bad things...
For example, remove.c does this...
AD_push (dirfd (dirp), ds, dir, dir_st);
and then later it would try to fstat the file descriptor returned by dirfd()
being -1 gets bogus results.
Anyway, not to worry. I'll fix libc and implement dirfd() instead.
