New Revision: 255108
URL: http://svnweb.freebsd.org/changeset/base/255108

Log:
  libc: Always use our own copy of sys_errlist and sys_nerr (.so only).
  
  This ensures strerror() and friends continue to work correctly even if a
  (non-PIE) executable linked against an older libc imports sys_errlist (which
  causes sys_errlist to refer to the executable's copy with a size fixed when
  that executable was linked).
  
  The executable's use of sys_errlist remains broken because it uses the
  current value of sys_nerr and may access past the bounds of the array.
  
  Different from the message "Using sys_errlist from executables is not
  ABI-stable" on freebsd-arch, this change does not affect the static library.
  There seems no reason to prevent overriding the error messages in the static
  library.
