The proposed implementation isn't portable; it assumes GCC syntax.
And it should probably defer to the unistd.h implementation if available.
My kneejerk reaction is that it's a bit small to be a module.
In my own code, I typically write EINTR-checking code inline; it's
about as readable as using TEMP_FAILURE_RETRY, and it's one less thing
to explain to the reader.
