F_DUPFD_CLOEXEC is required by POSIX, but not implemented on all
platforms yet.  Do you need to be checking with #ifdef F_DUPFD_CLOEXEC
to avoid compilation failure?

Broken.  O_CLOEXEC _only_ affects open(); to change it on an existing
fd, you have to use fcntl(F_GETFD/F_SETFD) (not F_GETFL/F_SETFL).

Pointless. O_LARGEFILE should _always_ be set, since we are compiling
for 64-bit off_t always.

Yuck.  That's a lot of syscalls (1 per fcntl_setfl() if they are already
set correctly, and 2 per fcntl_setfl() call if we are toggling each
one).  It might be better to combine this into at most 2 fcntl() calls,
instead of a long sequence.

Broken.  O_RDWR, O_RDONLY, and O_WRONLY are NOT bitmasks, but are values
in the range of O_ACCMODE.  In particular, O_RDONLY==0 on some platforms
(Linux), and ==1 on others (Hurd), and although POSIX recommends that
O_RDWR==(O_RDONLY|O_WRONLY) for any new systems, no one has really done
that except Hurd.

A correct way to write this is:

switch (flags & O_ACCMODE) {
case O_RDWR:
    if ((eflags & O_ACCMODE) != O_RDWR) {
        goto error;
    break;
case O_RDONLY:
    if ((eflags & O_ACCMODE) != O_RDONLY) {
        goto error;
    break;
case O_RDONLY:
    if ((eflags & O_ACCMODE) != O_RDONLY) {
        goto error;
    break;
default:
    goto error:
}

[Technically, POSIX also requires O_ACCMODE to include O_SEARCH and
O_EXEC, although those two constants might be the same value; but right
now Linux has not yet implemented that bit; but unless qemu ever gains
the need to open executable binaries with O_EXEC or directories with
O_SEARCH, we probably don't have to worry about that aspect of O_ACCMODE
here.]

Again, broken.  Besides, why are you attempting it both here and in
qemu_dup()?  Shouldn't once be enough?
