A while back I did some testing of this point.  These were the results I noted:

FreeBSD 4.8
O_NONBLOCK and O_ASYNC are inherited
FD_CLOEXEC is not inherited

Solaris 8
O_NONBLOCK and O_ASYNC are inherited
FD_CLOEXEC is not inherited

Tru64 5.1 (sep 03, testdrive)
No F_SETFL flags are inherited
FD_CLOEXEC is not inherited

HP-UX 11
No F_SETFL flags are inherited
FD_CLOEXEC is not inherited
