     arbitrarily deep trees -- we need a function like eaccessat, i.e.,
     like Solaris' eaccess, but fd-relative, in the spirit of openat.  */

  /* In the absence of a native eaccessat function, here are some of
     the implementation choices [#4 and #5 were suggested by Paul Eggert]:
     1) call openat with O_WRONLY|O_NOCTTY
        Disadvantage: may create the file and doesn't work for directory,
        may mistakenly report `unwritable' for EROFS or ACLs even though
        perm bits say the file is writable.

     2) fake eaccessat (save_cwd, fchdir, call euidaccess, restore_cwd)
        Disadvantage: changes working directory (not reentrant) and can't
        work if save_cwd fails.

     3) if (euidaccess (full_name, W_OK) == 0)
        Disadvantage: doesn't work if full_name is too long.
        Inefficient for very deep trees (O(Depth^2)).

     4) If the full pathname is sufficiently short (say, less than
        PATH_MAX or 8192 bytes, whichever is shorter):
        use method (3) (i.e., euidaccess (full_name, W_OK));
        Otherwise: vfork, fchdir in the child, run euidaccess in the
        child, then the child exits with a status that tells the parent
        whether euidaccess succeeded.

        This avoids the O(N**2) algorithm of method (3), and it also avoids
        the failure-due-to-too-long-file-names of method (3), but it's fast
        in the normal shallow case.  It also avoids the lack-of-reentrancy
        and the save_cwd problems.
        Disadvantage; it uses a process slot for very-long file names,
        and would be very slow for hierarchies with many such files.

     5) If the full file name is sufficiently short (say, less than
        PATH_MAX or 8192 bytes, whichever is shorter):
        use method (3) (i.e., euidaccess (full_name, W_OK));
        Otherwise: look just at the file bits.  Perhaps issue a warning
        the first time this occurs.

        This is like (4), except for the "Otherwise" case where it isn't as
        "perfect" as (4) but is considerably faster.  It conforms to current
        POSIX, and is uniformly better than what Solaris and FreeBSD do (they
        mess up with long file names). */
