This week I and the next one I will be upgrading the streams code to
work with POSIX file handlers. In the mean time you may either tweak
the code in file.d or copy-paste and and make your own routine.
Actually I do not understand why I did not use binary mode, since it
is used elsewhere in ECL.

cl_object
ecl_make_binary_stream_from_fd(cl_object fname, int fd, enum ecl_smmode smm)
{
	char *mode;			/* file open mode */
	FILE *fp;			/* file pointer */

	switch(smm) {
	case smm_input:
		mode = "rb";
		break;
	case smm_output:
		mode = "wb";
		break;
	case smm_io:
		mode = "wb+";
		break;
       .... Rest is the same
