Thanks.

I think that failure is inevitable on any system with
such poor (save-cwd/restore-cwd--based) openat emulation.
I.e., since it has neither the *at functions nor the
/proc-based support to emulate them, the test must fail.

If only to forestall further bug reports, it'd be good to
arrange to skip that test on such systems.

Subject: [PATCH] tests: avoid lack-of-support du test failure on HP-UX 11.31

* tests/du/inaccessible-cwd: Skip this test on systems like HP-UX 11.31
that lack both the *at functions and the /proc/self/fd-based support
we might have used to emulate them.  Reported by Bruno Haible in
http://debbugs.gnu.org/8846
