Supplying a third argument to open, of course.
So
if ((fd = open(fname, readonly? O_RDONLY : (O_RDWR|O_CREAT), 0644)) < 0) {
is the right fix, judging from
        touch $(DESTDIR)$(statedir)/xtab; chmod 644 $(DESTDIR)$(statedir)/xtab
        touch $(DESTDIR)$(statedir)/etab; chmod 644 $(DESTDIR)$(statedir)/etab
        touch $(DESTDIR)$(statedir)/rmtab; chmod 644 $(DESTDIR)$(statedir)/rmtab
and xflock being used on xtab/etab/rmtab.
