Hi Manu

I like your open_strerror() propopsal. Is this how Bintuils has done it?


Note: I realise this problem stems from ENOENT being used by both opendir() and
open(). I think you only need to provide two wrappers to handle these cases

Note: %m is not ideal in my view as it is a C Library extension that I believe
is not widely supported. could it be replaced with %s?

Alternatively, could have a check where files are stat() before they are
opened, and then report the error then. Likewise for directories.
