Performance, and internal consistency, among other reasons.
I've googled for a week (on and off) trying to find information about doing this and the only things I've found were from 1998 on the libc-hackers ml that's been shutdown. From the conversation there, some of the other reasons were userspace code using the __libc_open and __open directly in their code. I'm curious to see any conversation on the performance of glibc using internal __open vs. using open directly.
