Either we implement this wrapper or left all things as is, we need to
document internal errno clearing additionally, to not make people wonder
why errno becomes 0, probably with the mention that program should not
relay on this obsoleted implementation feature.
IMHO, it will be better to not clear errno at all, considering 'before
