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).

Can we move on now?
