Hello.
The function 'error' in fileutils uses strerror_r if available, but the
return value differs on AIX and GNU libc. GNU libc returns the 2nd
argument as return value but AIX returns 0 when ok and -1 on failure and
thus the call ...
fprintf (stderr, ": %s", __strerror_r (errnum, errbuf, sizeof errbuf));
... prints pretty much nothing more than a colon.
I'm not sure which is the best solution, but I've checked; Neither
Solaris (up to v8) nor IRIX (up to 6.5.7m) has strerror_r. Don't know
which other OS's have it (don't have access to any other).
Maybe it should be an #ifdef _AIX or something by those calls.
