bug#47596: File descriptor error when exiting emacs on android 11

[Henrik Grimler <henrik@grimler.se>]

Hi,

I received feedback on the android issue tracker 
https://issuetracker.google.com/issues/184380442 
that the snippet:

> > #include <stdio.h>
> > int main()
> > {
> >   fdopen (2, "w");
> >   fclose (stderr);
> > }

is problematic, because:

> yes. you have two FILE*s that both think they own file descriptor 2.
> depending on what you're actually trying to do, you probably meant to
> use freopen(3) instead?
https://man7.org/linux/man-pages/man3/fopen.3.html

Does freopen make sense for buferr?

> > In emacs fdopen is run in init_standard_fds, where we have

I probably should have included a bit more context in the android bug
report to better show what the code does.
