I'm ok with your version except for the rtems includes and names.  
Setting errno and returning -1 doesn't really warrant an include. 

Regarding configuration, we would have to do the same thing I did in the 
libc/posix
directory which is to add #ifndef _NO_xxxx checks at the top of the 
various files so they can be
removed using flags for those platforms that want some but not all routines.
