STRERROR() needs either sys_errlist + sys_nerr or strerror(), and it
prefers the former since the latter may not be thread-safe.  (Ought to
switch to use strerror_r() when someone feels like using time on it,
but...)

If you run configure on a system with sys_errlist, it'll use that.  To
prevent it, run make distclean to get rid of the old build and then (I
think)

  ./configure --<your config params> ol_cv_have_sys_errlist=no

Or distclean and then run configure on a system without the offending
symbols.
