I've checked it in. Thanks again to Jim for writing it up, and 
sumbitting me a ChangeLog entry for it.

The strerror workaround looks quite generic to me. The SYS_ERROR 
definition should be unified in a single header, and cstrerror could be 
our strerr replacement function in replace/ directory. Or we could use 
the strerror replacement function from libiberty or from gcc.

As far as I understand it, the purpose of the patch is to set the locale 
to "C" before asking for error messages, right?

Hm. I wonder how/if GNU Classpath handles this. I've CC:ed Sascha 
Brawer, he may have an idea. In the long term, I'd like to try to use as 
much of Classpath's java classes of their AWT implementation as 
possible, so it may make sense to see if they've already encountered the 
problem.
