John Polstra commented: "Ick! Hacks like that are practically impossible to get rid of again, ever." With the transition to ELF well under way, I'd suggest that no hacks are necessary. We should bump the aout shared library versions for the release of 3.0. If 3.0 is released with ELF as the default, the unsafe errno implementation of the past will be orphaned in aout (where it belongs, IMO).
