	According to the glibc FAQ, `_sys_errlist' shouldn't be used.
`strerror()' should always be used instead.

	List of binaries (in my machine) which use `_sys_errlist':

$ grep -l _sys_errlist /bin/* /usr/bin/* /sbin/* /usr/sbin/*
/bin/sed
/usr/bin/fping
/usr/bin/fromport
/usr/bin/last
/usr/bin/lastb
/usr/bin/namei
/usr/bin/skill
/usr/bin/slogin
/usr/bin/snice
/usr/bin/ssh
/usr/bin/strace
/usr/bin/toport
/usr/bin/vrfy
/usr/bin/w
/sbin/getty
/sbin/init
/sbin/rmt
/sbin/syslogd
/sbin/telinit
/usr/sbin/portmap
/usr/sbin/rmt
/usr/sbin/rpc.ugidd
/usr/sbin/sshd
/usr/sbin/tcpd
/usr/sbin/tcpdchk
/usr/sbin/tcpdmatch
/usr/sbin/try-from

	Why does it need `asm/socket.h'?
