That string was the same as what was used in the missing strerror case, so for now, I committed the patch as-is. We can reword it later, if needed (does Interix even support locales)? But come to think of it, now that we assume C89, should we simplify the code by not even catering to the missing strerror case? Which modern platforms still lack strerror? -- Eric Blake -- View this message in context: http://www.nabble.com/Re%3A-error.c%3A-%22Unknown-system-error%22-should-report-errno-value-tf4513158.html#a12884133 Sent from the Gnulib mailing list archive at Nabble.com.
