  Log:
  Since I got no objections to this patch, and no one has offered any
  alternative, I present .. ta! da! .. the __error() hack.
  
  This patch to the a.out dynamic loader provides old a.out binaries
  with __error() if they are linked with an older libc that lacks it,
  but are also linked against a library that needs it.
  
  There is a smaller, tricker hack that takes advantage of the fact
  that ld.so has __error() too, courtesy of the new libc, but this
  hack is the straightforward version.
