I'm taking a step back.  Rather than my first attempt at rpl_remove, it seems 
like I should be able to get away with much simpler code, provided that the 
underlying syscalls aren't broken.  It certainly has the benefit of avoiding an 
unnecessary [l]stat:

int result = rmdir (name);
if (result == -1 && errno == ENOTDIR)
  result = unlink (name);
return result;

(glibc remove() does it the other way around: attempting unlink first and only 
calling rmdir if errno == EISDIR/EPERM.  This works fine on Linux, but is too 
dangerous on platforms where unlink can remove a directory)

So, I found two reasons that the rmdir module should no longer be obsolete - 
cygwin 1.5.x mistakenly removes a directory given with a trailing "./", even 
though POSIX requires this to fail with EINVAL; and mingw rmdir("file/") fails 
with EINVAL instead of ENOTDIR (which would leak EINVAL out of the above 
rpl_remove() logic, instead of confirming ENOTDIR failure with unlink("file/")).

Meanwhile, the rmdir-errno module, in use by coreutils until today, guessed 
wrong for cross-compilation to Solaris (where rmdir fails with EEXIST, not 
ENOTEMPTY, on a populated directory); now that coreutils no longer uses the 
module [1], I see no reason to keep the module alive.

[1] http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.comp.gnu.coreutils.bugs/18181/focus=18182

By the way, this patch series also fixes unlinkat(-1,"/dir/./",AT_REMOVEDIR) on 
cygwin 1.5.x, since the openat module already depended on rmdir.  So far, I 
don't know of any systems with native unlinkat but with broken rmdir, but I 
suppose I should add tests for unlinkat to verify the same behavior.

Technically, GNU/Linux is not POSIX-compliant: rmdir("symlink-to-empty-dir/") 
fails with ENOTDIR, instead of succeeding at turning symlink-to-empty-dir into 
a dangling link.  But this behavior is counter-intuitive (both rmdir("symlink-
to-file/") and rmdir("symlink-to-full-dir/") are required to fail, so why is 
symlink-to-empty-dir special?), and GNU/Linux is at least consistent (rename
("symlink-to-empty-dir/","other") also has non-POSIX behavior to prevent 
accidental dangling symlink creation).  So I intentionally don't want to 
penalize GNU/Linux with a rmdir(2) wrapper that creates dangling symlinks; if 
we want rm(1) and rmdir(1) to do so under POSIXLY_CORRECT, then they can 
perform the extra checks manually.

Here's what I plan on pushing later today.

 Date        Modules         Changes

+2009-09-16  rmdir-errno     This module is removed.  Compare errno to EEXIST
+                            and ENOTDIR instead of ERRNO_RMDIR_NON_EMPTY.
+
 2009-09-04  link-follow     The macro LINK_FOLLOWS_SYMLINK is now tri-state,
                             rather than only defined to 1.
