Linux-isms in/from errno.h && quoting issues in newer GCC's,
but mostly CLANG.

As previously mentioned; upstream's code is fairly unmaintained
(messy). In fact, I removed over 3,000 extraneous new-lines from
one source file alone. Committing to maintain a port necessitated
performing a mass code cleanup. If they (upstream) will accept a
git push. Then we can still draw from upstream. Otherwise, I'll
be forced to either
1) cherry-pick from upstream
2) fork/branch && rename the port/project

After I squash the remaining warnings emitted, I submit a push
request, and see where it goes. But it will involve every file
in their source pool. So they may be reluctant. We'll see. :)

Thanks for the prompt commit, and attention to this, Kurt!
