One thing I like about putting saved_errno right next to the related
syscall is, the syscall is visible from the diff (previously some are
out of context). This is really minor though. I briefly thought of
introducing rmdir_errno() and friends that return -errno on error, so
we could do
res = ... : rmdir_errno(..);
if (res) {
errno = -res;
warning_errno(...);
}
But that's more work and the errno = -res is not particularly pleasing
to read. I'm fine with moving saved_errno in the error handling
blocks.
