Could you please clarify what the effects of the bug you are fixing, and
of this patch, are? You change one of the errlist-compat entries (but not
others or the SPARC version) in sysdeps/unix/sysv/linux/Versions; how does
one tell whether any other Versions file (whether in libc or ports) also
needs adjusting for this bug fix to avoid it causing any problems (whether
ABI compatibility or otherwise), and what adjustments to make if so?
