rte_strerror uses strerror_r(), and strerror_r() has two version of it. - XSI-compliant version, (_POSIX_C_SOURCE >= 200112L) && ! _GNU_SOURCE - GNU-specific version
Those two has different return types, so the exiting return type check is not correct for GNU-specific version. And this is causing failure in errno_autotest unit test. Adding different implementation for FreeBSD and Linux.
