I follow the man page for open [1], I think it was a workaround needed for some 
kernel versions just after the O_TMPFILE was added but before the support for 
EOPNOTSUPP.
We may need to add the EACCES too for some version of glibc [2, 3]?

It's to ignore/reset the error code from open, but it may not be needed because 
of the next call to malloc?
