+Subject: [PATCH 2/2] library: for atexit() support, fix fileutils for EPIPE
+
+When fileutils with stream error checking was borrowed
+from GNU lib, an omission was also propagated where an
+errno of EPIPE wouldn't be preserved in close_stream()
+making a test for EPIPE in close_stdout() meaningless.
+
+This patch corrects such oversight so that an errno of
+EPIPE no longer produces 'write error' at program end.
+
+( gnulib provides for optionally ignoring EPIPE, but )
+( if a program chooses to ignore it, then their code )
+( appears to suffer from this close_stream oversight )
+
+Reference(s):
+. original fileutilis addition
+commit c7cf98b0e03780f78abe5275c6fb282f71a2369f
