Unfortunately, that's not portable. The POSIXy version of strerror_r
returns an integer, specifically 0 if successful, and something else
otherwise. (What that "something" else actually is seems to be
defined differently by different vendors, alas. OpenBSD and Solaris
return errno. Linux/glibc returns -1.)
