If you think on some error code, TARGET_NATIVE_FILE_OPEN() itself does
not prevent this. With TARGET_NATIVE_LAST_ERROR() as system indepentant
error code of the last called OS function can be detected (which is
based on errno). If some error code in the list of system indepentant
error codes is missing, it should be added.

Is this the function you need?

Sincerely,

Torsten
