I think the flag should be implemented on the FreeBSD side.

Also, your patch does not handle AT_FDCWD case, that is described in the Linux man page.

You broke detection of the unknown flags.

Fix unknown flag detection, detect AT_FDCWD.

I've considered doing it natively first - that would allow us to support AT_FDCWD with AT_EMPTY_PATH - but after a few hours I gave up. I'd strongly prefer committing this small change instead of making another attempt at understanding namei().

BTW there are more Linux syscalls taking AT_EMPTY_PATH

This is copy/pasted all over the tree; I'll fix it in a later sweep.
