Looking around the office, I find
IRIX 6.5 sys_nerr and sys_errlist are only defined
with use of the Non-ANSI switch.
Solaris 6.5 sys_nerr and sys_errlist are not defined
at all.
If by "classical" you mean "obsolete" you might have a
point.
It really seems to me that it would be less effort to
change your program than to convince the whole world
to go backward 10 years.
