BY preprocessing 'fopen.c', I see the 'rpl_fopen()'
in my case is rather short. Since 'GNULIB_FOPEN_GNU'
seems *not* to be defined, it passes mode to
'orig_fopen()' with "re" intact. Hence the EINVAL.

I've no idea who/how '-DGNULIB_FOPEN_GNU' is supposed
to be set. But manually adding it, all is well.
