What changed: -------------

- Allow symlinks to be opened with O_PATH | O_NOFOLLOW.

-  Allow  the  pathname  argument to readlinkat(2) to be an empty
string,
  provided the dirfd argument refers to a symlink opened with
  O_PATH | O_NOFOLLOW.  The readlinkat call then operates on that
  symlink.

- Support the Linux-specific AT_EMPTY_PATH flag  for  fchownat(2)
and
  fstatat(2).

- Allow AF_LOCAL sockets to be opened with O_PATH.

- <signal.h>: New macro _NSIG replacing NSIG.  NSIG is now only
  visible to MISC builds, as on Linux.

-  The new locale modifier @cjksingle allows enforcing of single-
width
  character property for usually double-widthed characters.  This
will
  be  supported  by upcoming mintty releases.  For the reasoning,
see
  https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/terminal-wg/specifications/is-
sues/9.
