[PATCH 2/2] strerror: work around FreeBSD bug

Breaking strerror away from strerror_r re-exposed the FreeBSD strerror(0) bug. * lib/strerror.c (strerror): Special case 0. Reported by Bruno Haible. Signed-off-by: Eric Blake --- This fixes test-strerror on FreeBSD, again. I still need to work on perror, but I'm pushing this in the meantime.

errno --> errno name ?

I think it would be a useful addition to the errno/strerror/whatever modules to be able to convert from the numeric errno to the symbolic one. e.g., char * errno_name () { switch (errno) { #ifdef ENOENT case ENOENT : return "ENOENT"; #endif default: return NULL; } } the idea is that

spawn-pipe tests on OSF/1

On OSF/1 5.1 with cc (but not with gcc), and only in the gettext build, not in testdirs, I see a test failure like this: test-spawn-pipe.c:80: assertion failed (null): /home/haible/gettext-0.18.2/gettext-tools/gnulib-tests/.libs/lt-test-spawn-pipe subprocess got fatal signal 6 test-spawn-pipe.sh
