I have a feeling the error should probably be an EACCES and not EPERM.

I would suggest that this check be put into build_open_flags() rather
than putting it this late in open(). Also, same nit about the error
return as above.

You should also define this for all of the architectures which don't use
the generic O_* flag values. On alpha, O_PATH is equal to the value you
picked (just be careful on sparc -- 0x4000000 is the next free bit, but
it's used by FMODE_NONOTIFY.)
