there was a thread few month ago trying to come up with
a generic solution for aliased error codes, but unfortunately
nothing concrete came out of it.
The one I liked sounded that the kernel may be able to extend
syscall interface to return a string together with errno,
but it's quite hard to do at present.
May be extensions to vdso data writable by kernel can
improve the situation.
