: strerror() doesn't exist on old systems.

True.  But how old is old?

: I think we should just use `#ifdef __FreeBSD__' and <sys/param.h> in
: ports.  Original authors should use a better method to suit themselves.

Yes, but this whole thing got started because the #ifdef __FreeBSD__
was slowly turning into
	#if defined(__OpenBSD__) || defined(__NetBSD__) || defined(__FreeBSD__)
in a bunch of places due to those projects riding along on the FreeBSD
port's coat tails.
