No, eaccess is NOT portable.
Maybe we should find solution in libc.

In musl libc, eaccess is define as:

euidaccess.c

```
#define _GNU_SOURCE
#include <unistd.h>
#include <fcntl.h>
#include "libc.h"

int euidaccess(const char *filename, int amode)
{
	return faccessat(AT_FDCWD, filename, amode, AT_EACCESS);
}

weak_alias(euidaccess, eaccess);

```

faccessat.c:


```

#include <unistd.h>
#include <fcntl.h>
#include <sys/wait.h>
#include "syscall.h"
#include "pthread_impl.h"

struct ctx {
	int fd;
	const char *filename;
	int amode;
	int p;
};

static int checker(void *p)
{
	struct ctx *c = p;
	int ret;
	if (__syscall(SYS_setregid, __syscall(SYS_getegid), -1)
	    || __syscall(SYS_setreuid, __syscall(SYS_geteuid), -1))
		__syscall(SYS_exit, 1);
	ret = __syscall(SYS_faccessat, c->fd, c->filename, c->amode, 0);
	__syscall(SYS_write, c->p, &ret, sizeof ret);
	return 0;
}

int faccessat(int fd, const char *filename, int amode, int flag)
{
	if (!flag || (flag==AT_EACCESS && getuid()==geteuid() && getgid()==getegid()))
		return syscall(SYS_faccessat, fd, filename, amode, flag);

	if (flag != AT_EACCESS)
		return __syscall_ret(-EINVAL);

	char stack[1024];
	sigset_t set;
	pid_t pid;
	int status;
	int ret, p[2];

	if (pipe2(p, O_CLOEXEC)) return __syscall_ret(-EBUSY);
	struct ctx c = { .fd = fd, .filename = filename, .amode = amode, .p = p[1] };

	__block_all_sigs(&set);
	
	pid = __clone(checker, stack+sizeof stack, 0, &c);
	__syscall(SYS_close, p[1]);

	if (pid<0 || __syscall(SYS_read, p[0], &ret, sizeof ret) != sizeof(ret))
		ret = -EBUSY;
	__syscall(SYS_close, p[0]);
	__syscall(SYS_wait4, pid, &status, __WCLONE, 0);

	__restore_sigs(&set);

	return __syscall_ret(ret);
}

```

So, it calls clone to run checker.

But is `clone` a good way? (Some system may strict clone syscall)

Do you have other ways? 

Can we just change `unixTempFileDir` to really create a temporary file to check the directory is writable?
