the openat code uses stdarg functions but the func prototype isnt variable (it
doesnt end in ...) which of course causes a build failure

if current cvs head is configured with:
--enable-kernel=2.6.17

the build bombs:

Proposed patch for the openat.c

Proposed is a fix for the openat.c compilation error
with --enable-kernel=2.6.17

are you kidding me ?  if you looked at the openat.c, you'd see that it's
obviously wrong

so i'll dupe it for you to the correct bug (which you fixed instead of simply
marking a dupe of *this* bug)
