Portability problems fixed by Gnulib:

• This function does not support modes with execution bits (such as 0700) on some platforms: MSVC 14.
• On platforms where off_t is a 32-bit type, creat may not work correctly with files 2 GiB and larger. See Large File Support.
• This function does not fail when the file name argument ends in a slash and (without the slash) names a nonexistent file, on some platforms: FreeBSD 7.2, AIX 7.1, HP-UX 11.31, Solaris 9.

Portability problems not fixed by Gnulib:

• On Windows, this function returns a file handle in O_TEXT mode. If you need a file handle in O_BINARY mode, you need to use the function open instead.
