I also checked the usage of atomic flags. There was a minor bug on
Linux, it is now fixed (remove an useless call to fcntl to check if
SOCK_CLOEXEC works).

open(): On Linux, FreeBSD and Solaris 11, O_CLOEXEC flag is used.
fcntl(F_GETFD) is only called once for all file descriptors, to check
if O_CLOEXEC works. On Windows, O_NOINHERIT is used.

socket.socket(): On Linux, SOCK_CLOEXEC flag is used, no extra syscall
is required.

os.pipe(): On Linux, pipe2() is used with O_CLOEXEC.

On other platforms, os.set_inheritable() must be called to make the
new file descriptors non-inheritables.

On Windows, the atomic flag WSA_FLAG_NO_HANDLE_INHERIT is not used to
create a socket. I don't know the Windows well enough to make such
change.

My OpenIndiana VM looks to be older than Solaris 11: O_CLOEXEC flag is missing.

I regenerated the patch in the isssue: http://bugs.python.org/issue18571
