well, the build is broken *now* and pushing the fix doesn't hinder Gary from
continuing to work on a better fix that can go on-top of the build-fix. Or am I
missing something?

Gary, do you see any problem with pushing the fix and providing a proper
strerror_r replacement on-top? I don't think we should leave the master build
broken on FreeBSD for too long.

Cheerio!
