Comment (by bonefish):

 Replying to [comment:7 scottmc]:
 > At least in gnulib lib if O_BINARY isn't defined they define it to be 0
 and then create an inline function handle cases where they are trying to
 make use of it:

 io.h;h=5451fd48f4d61be96319d87655a9213b85a7d3b6;hb=HEAD

 GNU/Linux (at least OpenSuse) doesn't define `O_BINARY`, not even with
 `_GNU_SOURCE` defined, so I've no clue why gnulib would define it (after
 all their mission is to make other systems more GNUish). At any rate,
 since it's neither in POSIX nor in GNU/Linux, from a porting point of view
 it should be totally safe to omit it.
