Gnulib documents most portability quirks too [1]. For example, it had the
FreeBSD EMLINK and NetBSD EFTYPE with 'open("symlink", O_NOFOLLOW ...)
documented, but for some very old versions released around 2014. Now
that I have confirmed it still exists from this git test I have updated
the documentation there [2].
Thanks,
Collin
