The previous code for the cd builtin used open(.., O_RDONLY) + fchdir to change the working directory. This fails, if the user has no read permission on the directory (but has the x permission). Now we first chdir and then try to open the new workin directory. this might fail, but in this case cd was already successful.
The alternative would be to use O_PATH instead of O_RDONLY, but this is not portable. As an improvement, we could use O_PATH for supported platforms later.
Fixes issue #10432
