According to this [2] looks like NetBSD is affected too, but only in
no-thread mode. With pthreads, fileno is not redefined as a macro.
That probably explains why it's ok from git-ci.

#define fileno(p) __sfileno(p)

#define __sfileno(p) \
    ((p)->_file == -1 ? -1 : (int)(unsigned short)(p)->_file)

... and __sfileno (and other friends) can cause bad side effects,
sigh. It's probably best to avoid fancy function calls.
