You need to file a bug with whomever gave you the buggy software, glibc just
warns you about a bug in it (and in RHEL{3,4}/Fedora Core{1-4}/CentOS{3,4} works
around it, though note that in more recent distributions such buggy software is
simply out of chance to work.
errno is defined as *__errno_location () in glibc for more than 9 years,
so any properly built program (that #include <errno.h> when it wants to use
errno rather than violating the standards and definining it by itself) will
not reference errno directly and will work just fine.
