Ok, for anyone having problems w/ strerror being undefined (SunOS
4.1.X users), here is a definition which should do it for you (just
put it in builtins.c). I'll put this on the official web site as
well, and a variant will appear in the next beta release.

char *strerror(int num)
{
  extern int sys_nerr;
  extern char *sys_errlist[];

  if (num >= 0 && num < sys_nerr)
    return(sys_errlist[errnum]);
  else
    return "Unknown error number";
}
