Do you mean #12105? I didn't know about the ticket before.

How about two options, like 'e' for guaranteed atomic CLOEXEC and 'E' for CLOEXEC with or without atomic ops? It's not much additional work and lowers the burden on the user.

It's going to be hard to get a list of platforms and versions where O_CLOEXEC is supported. We should go for a white list approach and only enable it on platforms that are either documented to support it or have been tested.
