If you're asking for a vote on errno I completely agree: "errno has to
go".  Many reason's exist.  It's indefensible in single threaded
environments and worse in multi-threaded programs (perhaps not
directly initiated by the programmer).

I hear that compatibility is the main issue.  What programs will break if
math related errors no longer use errno?
