Oh my.  This makes my recent test-perror2 fail on FreeBSD, because it
tests that perror and strerror match (as per POSIX), rather than
strerror_r, but our perror replacement kicks in even when the strerror
replacement does not.  I'm debating if there is a better way to fix
this, but am pushing this as the minimal fix for now:
