>Description:
Compiling the netpbm package gets tons of the following errors:

warning: reference to compatibility sys_errlist[]; include <errno.h>
for correct reference
gcc -O -I.. -I../pbm -s -o pgmnorm pgmnorm.c libpgm.a ../pbm/libpbm.a
libpbm1.o: warning: reference to compatibility sys_errlist[]; include <errno.h>
for correct reference
gcc -O -I.. -I../pbm -s -o pgmoil pgmoil.c libpgm.a ../pbm/libpbm.a
libpbm1.o: warning: reference to compatibility sys_errlist[]; include <errno.h>
for correct reference

>How-To-Repeat:
Compile it and watch it go.

>Fix:
I think the most straightforward way to fix this is to change "patch-ad",
which patches pbmplus.h, to #define A_STRERROR (so that the package uses
strerror()).
