9 Portability problems fixed by Gnulib:
12 This function does not support the error values that are specified by POSIX
13 but not defined by the system, on some platforms:
14 OpenBSD 4.0, OSF/1 5.1, NonStop Kernel, Cygwin 1.5.x, mingw.
16 This function fails to return a string for out-of-range integers on
18 HP-UX 11, IRIX 6.5, Solaris 8.
19 (This is not a POSIX violation, but can still cause bugs because most programs
20 call @code{strerror} without setting and testing @code{errno}.)
