Michael Kerrisk 7c7fb55221 open.2: EFBIG error is now EOVERFLOW (since Linux 2.6.24) 
When a 32-bit app opens a file whose size is too big to be
represented in 31-bits, POSIX.1 specifies the error EOVERFLOW.
Linux used to give EFBIG for this case, but 2.6.24 fixed this.

Also, add some text to describe the error scenario in
more detail.

Michael Kerrisk 24ec631f42 open.2: minor: Fix O_CLOEXEC wording re fcntl() calls 
The current wording suggests that only a single fcntl()
operation is needed to set the FD_CLOEXEC flag, when "proper"
usage would be fcntl(F_GETFD) + fcntl(F_SETFD) to get the
flags and then update them.  So change the wording to indicate
that more than one fcntl() operation is required.
