I got no replies to the public airing of this patch in -current.  I know
some people object, but they would not support any of the alternative
options.  I am happy to back out this patch the moment a workable
alternative is in place.  It is carefully designed to be instantly
removable.  It also has no performance impact on executables that are
linked with a libc that supplies __error.
