This variable is added [1] with the assumption that on a sane system, fopen(<dir>, "r") should return NULL. Linux and FreeBSD do not meet this expectation while at least Windows and AIX do. Let's make sure they behave the same way. I only tested one version on Linux (4.7.0 with glibc 2.22) and FreeBSD (11.0) but since GNU/kFreeBSD is fbsd kernel with gnu userspace, I'm pretty sure it shares the same problem.
