errno values after fcntl() in glibc-2.2.1

In working with glibc 2.2.1, I noticed an inconsistency in the
way fcntl() sets errno.  fcntl() returns zero, but errno is
set to ENOSYS, as is demonstrated by running the following test
code:

#include <stdio.h>
#include <unistd.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
#include <fcntl.h>
#include <errno.h>

int
main(int argc, char **argv)
{
        struct flock fl;
        int fd;
        int err;
        int errnob;

        fd = open("/etc/passwd", O_RDONLY);
        if (fd == -1)
        {
                printf("can't open()\n");
                return 1;
        }

        fl.l_type = F_RDLCK;
        fl.l_whence = 0;
        fl.l_start = 0;
        fl.l_len = 0;

        errno = 0;
        err = fcntl (fd, F_SETLK, &fl);
        errnob = errno;

        if (err != 0)
        {
                printf("fcntl failed, errno %d\n", errnob);
                return 1;
        }

        printf("fcntl passed, errno is %d\n", errnob);

        return 0;
}

This was discovered on an i386 system running RedHat7.  If possible,
please
let me know the status of this inconsistency.

Thank you,
