This should mention the module 'openat2' here, I guess?
And add a

line, as usual.
Thanks, I did that via the attached.
Previously, HAVE_OPENAT2 was set to 0 as a fallback
and to 1 (in m4/openat2.m4) on platforms that have the function. With
the change above, HAVE_OPENAT2 gets set to 1 on *all* platforms.
Thanks, I found and fixed that earlier today

openat2 is unusual, as it is present in GNU/Linux but not GNU/Hurd.
That's why I listed "glibc on non-Linux" in
doc/glibc-functions/openat2.texi. In that sense openat2 is like mseal,
pidfd_open, epoll_create, and inotify_add_watch. I don't know of any
other such function for which Gnulib provides a substitute.From 1f81c56babc673cb7efb0f71a1118f5946f7d389 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001
