Let's see...
#4 0x4000000000003cec in test_mkfifo (func=0x4000000000002c88
<.opd+0xe0>,
print=1 '\001') at ../../gltests/test-mkfifo.h:46
46 ASSERT (errno == EEXIST || errno == EINVAL);
(gdb) up
#5 0x4000000000004678 in main () at ../../gltests/test-mkfifo.c:46
46 return test_mkfifo (mkfifo, true);
The value of errno:
(gdb) p errno
$1 = 21
Which, according to /usr/include/sys/errno.h, is
#define EISDIR 21 /* Is a directory */
Oddly enough, this is not a documented return value for errno in the
mkfifo(3) man page.
(I'm more than happy to investigate this kind of thing; it's just
helpful for me to know what I should focus on first.)
