I would like to use this modules in GNU gettext and GNU libiconv. But I'm
encountering two issues:

1) A compilation failure with IRIX cc:

cc -n32 -DHAVE_CONFIG_H -I. -I../../gllib -I..  -DGNULIB_STRICT_CHECKING=1 
-I/u/guest/bruno/prefix-n32-cc/include  -g -c -o stdopen.o ../../gllib/stdopen.c
cc-1029 cc: ERROR File = ../../gllib/stdopen.c, Line = 39
  An expression is expected at this point.

    for (int fd = STDIN_FILENO; fd <= STDERR_FILENO; fd++)
         ^

cc-1020 cc: ERROR File = ../../gllib/stdopen.c, Line = 39
  The identifier "fd" is undefined.

    for (int fd = STDIN_FILENO; fd <= STDERR_FILENO; fd++)
                                ^

2 errors detected in the compilation of "../../gllib/stdopen.c".

2) I don't want to repeat the error message code in each and every
program. So, I put that into a new module 'xstdopen'.

Done through the attached commits.
