            Bug ID: 16282
           Summary: glibc needs to support the O_XATTR openat() flag on
                    Solaris+Illumos kernels
           Product: glibc
           Version: unspecified
            Status: NEW
          Severity: critical
          Priority: P2
         Component: libc
          Assignee: unassigned at sourceware dot org

glibc needs to support the O_XATTR openat() flag on Solaris,Illumos kernels so
that applications which use the NFSv4 and ZFS extended attributes, also known
as Alternate Data Streams on CIFS and NTFS, can use them.

The issue has haunted NIH and the NIH bioinformatics software stack since quite
some time if it was build with glibc instead of the system's own libc.
