`openat` has basically solved that since 2.6.16 (which came out in 2006). There are still some uncommon APIs have been slow to gain `at` variants but there's usually a workaround (for example, `getxattrat` and family were only added in 6.13 (this January), but can be implemented in terms of `openat` + `fgetxattr`) |

Except for symlinks. `fgetxattr` requires a file opened for read or write, but symlinks can only be opened as `O_PATH`.
