  Portability problems not fixed by Gnulib:
  @itemize
  @item
  This function uses the effective id instead of the real id on some
  platforms:
  Cygwin 1.5.x.
  @end itemize
  
  Other problems of this function:
  @itemize
  @item
  There is an inherent race between calling this function and performing
  some action based on the results; you should think twice before trusting
  this function, especially in a set-uid or set-gid program.
  @item
  This function does not have an option for not following symbolic links
  (like @code{stat} versus @code{lstat}).  If you need this option, use
  the Gnulib module @code{faccessat} with the @code{AT_EACCESS} flag.
