As far as I can tell, __basic_file::sys_open() is the only interface
to fdopen() that libstdc++ has.

ios_base::ate is not handled at the level of __basic_file; it's
handled in basic_filebuf<_CharT, _Traits>::open, and there is no
basic_filebuf wrapper around fdopen().  Perhaps there should be one,
but I wouldn't know how to add it.
