It is a workaround for SunOS 4.1.x (and possibly other contemporary
Unices, but I can't remember). It is equivalent to the strerror()
workaround where you have to define sys_errlist and sys_nerr as
extern variables.

I suppose that it is time to drop this workaround, since the
multi-threading problem on current platforms becomes more prevalent
than compilation warnings on older platforms.
