That might break things.

~ $ mkdir -p a/b/c
~ $ cd a/b/c
~/a/b/c $ touch a
~/a/b/c $ ls
a
~/a/b/c $ ls ~/a/b/c
a
~/a/b/c $ chmod 000 ~/a/b
~/a/b/c $ ls
a
~/a/b/c $ ls ~/a/b/c
ls: cannot access '/home/vladimir/a/b/c': Permission denied
~/a/b/c $ 

I think the correct solution would be to use fdopendir and openat (on POSIX).
