On an edge note, it would be much saner for many syscalls and libc functions to return minus the error code rather than return -1 and set errno, and in the future suckless-dominated world we could do so. The OpenBSD kernel already often does so internally. To check < 0 rather than == -1 would ease transition. Oh, and MAP_FAILED == 0 ought.
