O_NOCMTIME doesn't exist yet.  From include/linux/fs.h:

/*
 * Don't update ctime and mtime.
 *
 * Currently a special hack for the XFS open_by_handle ioctl, but we'll
 * hopefully graduate it to a proper O_CMTIME flag supported by open(2) soon.
 */
#define FMODE_NOCMTIME		((__force fmode_t)0x800)

I'd have to check, but it wouldn't surprise me if glibc is filtering
out all fcntl flags it doesn't understand, so for now, this is an
XFS-only special...
