Why put this patch?

[H.J. Lu]

Why put in this patch? If you take a look at sysdeps/generic/_strerror.c,
you will see this patch is bogus since strerror_r returns the message,
which is not necessarily in the buffer passed to strerror_r.

Ulrich, could you please fix it?

Thanks.

        * misc/error.c (error): Don't use result of strerror_r call directly
        since at least DEC Unix has a wrong return type.
