  Gnulib module: mkfifoat
  
  Portability problems fixed by Gnulib:
  @itemize
  @item
  This function is missing on some platforms:
  glibc 2.3.6, Mac OS X 10.5, FreeBSD 6.0, NetBSD 5.0, OpenBSD 3.8, Minix 3.1.8,
  AIX 5.1, HP-UX 11, IRIX 6.5, OSF/1 5.1, Solaris 10, Cygwin 1.5.x, mingw, MSVC 9,
  Interix 3.5, BeOS.
  But the replacement function is not safe to be used in libraries and is not multithread-safe.

  Portability problems not fixed by Gnulib:
  @itemize
  @item
  The gnulib replacement function always fails with @samp{ENOSYS} on
  some platforms:
  mingw, MSVC 9.
  @item
  If the argument exists and is a directory, the gnulib replacement
  function fails with @code{EISDIR} instead of the correct
  @code{EEXIST}: HP-UX 11.11.
