Isn't the point that we want to replace strtoll with
something different, not with exactly the function we want
to replace? I could see special error handling on top of
strtoll/EINVAL. Alternatively, we should fully implement
strtoll ourselves for the platforms that neither have
strtoll the way we expect it nor strtoq.

With best regards,
