When reading from a non-blocking pipe whose buffer is empty, this function
fails with @code{errno} being set to @code{EINVAL} instead of @code{EAGAIN} on
some platforms:

Portability problems not fixed by Gnulib:

+C99 and POSIX.1-2001 and later require end-of-file to be sticky, that
+is, they require this function to act as if it reads end-of-file if
+@code{feof} would return nonzero. However, on some systems this
+function attempts to read from the underlying file descriptor even if
+the stream's end-of-file indicator is set. These systems include
+glibc and default Solaris.

On Windows platforms (excluding Cygwin), this function does not set @code{errno}
upon failure.
