An incredibly dumb side project which involves creating a very small
static binary. So far I've also needed a few other functions (for
example clock_gettime) which I've just added local wrappers for, since
I'm not sure if they're in scope for nolibc. If they are, I can also
send patches for those as well.

I agree, but I followed the existing implementation for sys_open which
only uses openat if it is defined. If openat can be assumed to always
exist, that other #ifdef should be dropped (which I can do in another
patch).

This implementation is yoinked directly from open() below. I have no
opinions, but if it should be changed it should be changed in both
functions.

I'll change this. Should the other test_ functions in this file also be
static?

None, I just wrote that one first before thinking about how I'd test
opening something relative to an fd. I'll drop it.
