Hi,

The variable sys_nerr seems holds the maximal value of valid entry in
sys_errlist.
Configure detects if your system supports 'strerror' function.
If not, m4 defines its own strerror wrapper 'private_strerror' in m4/error.c
and assumes, that sys_errlist and sys_nerr are present on current system.
However, these are system specific and your system does not define
sys_nerr.
Check manually, if your system has the 'strerror' function.
Try this patch. I don't know what does your compiler define as
a system macro. I mean such as WIN32, __WIN32__ etc.
Change to the correct macro accordingly.
You should find it in your compiler documentation.
bye
David
