What are the types of func and fd?  Is there a prototype in scope for
func() ?  What is the failure?  Does the first assertion fail?  Or
does the read() fail?

This program works on ia64 -- it completes with no output, and exits 0.

#include <fcntl.h>

int
main(int ac, char **av)
{
	int fd = open("/dev/null", O_RDONLY);
	char c;

	if (fd < 0) {
		fprintf(stderr, "fd = %d\n", fd);
		return 1;
	}
	if (read(fd, &c, 1) != 0) {
		fprintf(stderr, "read returns non-zero\n");
		return 1;
	}
	return 0;
}
