Re: check-abi failure with sys_errlist

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?
