Details:
Eg:
/bin/rm: cannot remove `non-existent-file': Read-only file system.
On a linux/glibc system the unlinkat syscall will set errno to EROFS and
nonexistent_file_errno() does not perform any checks
for this case. (Another rm does an fts_open/fts_read and ignores
the file if fts_info is FST_NS before trying to unlink it.)
(coreutils version 7.4)
