The "file" it tries to open is stderr ;)

The annoying thing is that on other archs it works and with fpc 2.6.4 it
works, so I agree with Gianfranco that it seems to be related to fpc
3.0.0. However, from my preliminary scan I couldn't find anything in fpc
on that low level that changed.

I agree with that statement. Unless we find out that it never worked on
arm*, we just have to fix whatever needs fixing.
