"   If the path names a symbolic link, open() fails and sets
         errno to ELOOP"
But unfortunately this does not work with attropen. There is also 
AT_SYMLINK_NOFOLLOW but I do not exatly understand its job with fstatat...
The only way I came up was a stat of path...
Finally, what about opening a discussion about where/how to write attributes of
symlinks?
