There are a several inconsistencies in the functionality of the built-in path rewrite rule that is used to support Unix-like file system structure (to simplify porting of Unix software to OS/2) by replacing /@unixroot with the value of the UNIXROOTenvironment variable.

This is a meta-ticket to put all separate tickets related about inconsistency together.

I found out that rename ("file1", "file2") will fail if "file2" has a r/o bit set. This is because DosDelete fails on such files with RC = 5. This failure violates the POSIX requirements which in turn breaks e.g. the mv command which uses rename() internally.

While struct stat has a size of 108 bytes when built without special flags, with

gcc -fpack-struct=1 stat.c

size of struct stat changes to 106 bytes. Adding

#pragma pack(4) ... #pragma pack()

around structure declarations in sys/stat.h fixes the issue.

I wonder if other structures has the same problem.
