You know, given the complexity of the strerror_r() hacks to make it behave,
perhaps it is better to just:

#ifdef linux and other posix/xopen/foo
extern int __xpg_strerror_r(int, char *, size_t);
#define strerror_r(a, b, c) __xpg_strerror_r((a), (b), (c))
#endif

and eliminate all the rest of the ugliness, leaving the WIN32 ifdefs.
