Revert "checkpath: use O_PATH when available"
This reverts commit 2af0cedd5952d7da71681b7a636dff3540e4295d.
After speaking with Luis Ressel on the Gentoo selinux team, I am reverting
this commit for the following reasons:
- Luis told me that he feels this is not the solution we need to address
the concern with checkpath; I will be working with him on another
solution.
- There are concerns about the way the path variable was handled
and the assert() call.
The path variable should be dynamically allocated using xasprintf
instead of defining a length at compile time. This would eliminate the
need for the assert() call.
- It introduces the definition of _GNU_SOURCE which makes it
easier to introduce portability concerns in the future (see #262).
