Should a userland program be allowed to depend on errno==0 on entry

checking errno is the wrong way to ascertain whether a function had a
problem, so this shouldn't be a problem for a well written program.

on the other hand, code running before main is outside the scope of C
standard, and i think the standard at least implies errno should be 0
on entry, so we should fix/verify that too.
