SCO broke string.h by #define'ing strerror in /usr/include/string.h
You can't do it like that.

To fix: edit /usr/include/string.h and delete the line which says
#define	strerror(error) /* whatever */
up until the end of the definition.

Then rerun "build" and make sure you tell it that you *don't* have
strerror.  The strerror() implementation in libfake/ is good enough
for most normal uses.
