Rich Felker cd0ae687de revert regression in faccessat AT_EACCESS robustness
commit f9fb20b42d switched from using a
pipe for the result to conveying it via the child process exit status.
Alexander Monakov pointed out that the latter could fail if the
application is not expecting faccessat to produce a child and performs
a wait operation with __WCLONE or __WALL, and that it is not clear
whether it's guaranteed to work when SIGCHLD's disposition has been
set to SIG_IGN.

in addition, that commit introduced a bug that caused EACCES to be
produced instead of EBUSY due to an exit path that was overlooked when
the error channel was changed, and introduced a spurious retry loop
around the wait operation.

    musl libc

musl, pronounced like the word "mussel", is an MIT-licensed
implementation of the standard C library targetting the Linux syscall
API, suitable for use in a wide range of deployment environments. musl
offers efficient static and dynamic linking support, lightweight code
and low runtime overhead, strong fail-safe guarantees under correct
usage, and correctness in the sense of standards conformance and
safety. musl is built on the principle that these goals are best
achieved through simple code that is easy to understand and maintain.

The 1.1 release series for musl features coverage for all interfaces
defined in ISO C99 and POSIX 2008 base, along with a number of
non-standardized interfaces for compatibility with Linux, BSD, and
glibc functionality.

For basic installation instructions, see the included INSTALL file.
Information on full musl-targeted compiler toolchains, system
bootstrapping, and Linux distributions built on musl can be found on
the project website:
