I understand that. However, SUSv3 requires that it exist[0]: The <errno.h> header shall provide a declaration for errno and give positive values for the following symbolic constants. Their values shall be unique except as noted below. The fact that it does not exist means that glibc defines it to be the same as EOPNOTSUPP, which is not allowed. The fact that they are the same when they should not be prohibits the use of error numbers in switch statements, which breaks actual code. It is actually easier for Linux to implement this than glibc, because if glibc assigns it a number, Linux may use that number for something else in the future, and then there's a conflict, and we go through this all over again. However, either Linux needs to implement it, or glibc does. Simply pointing fingers at each other or ignoring it won't cut it. Please don't close this bug again until it is decided which one will implement it.
