Shouldn't this be acl_free(acl_new) instead?

I know it's not in the patch, but it... looks curious. WTF?

lib/libc/posix1e/acl_strip.c

You should also free acl_old, right? Same in the next few cases.

116

... and here, and few below. Might be a good idea to replace all those "return (NULL)" with "goto fail" to avoid code duplication.

It is quite a mess, I was following blindly what Coverity reported.
I'll update the patch. thanks!

lib/libc/posix1e/acl_calc_mask.c

Yes, I got confused by Coverity as it reports acl_int_new is (also) leaked.

126

There's nothing here in "svn diff".

lib/libc/posix1e/acl_strip.c

Coverity flags this one because acl_old != NULL from line 78.
It looks like Coverity doesn't know about acl_init().

99

CID 1016705: From line 78 acl_new != NULL.
Coverity doesn't know about acl_get_entry().

It is much cleaner with the "fail" label.
