Actually, the standard was based on the fmemopen() behavior that existed in
2006, when glibc ignored 'b'.  However, I've opened an Austin Group bug to see
who needs to change (glibc, POSIX, or both).
http://austingroupbugs.net/view.php?id=396

Based on the outcome of that POSIX bug, glibc may yet need to change its
implementation to comply, so I'm reopening this glibc bug.
