The '%m' conversion specifier prints an error message based on the
current value of 'errno'. It is available in the GNU C library,
Cygwin (since 2012), uClibc and musl.
It is not available in various BSDs, BSD-derived systems (MacOS,
Android) or Microsoft Windows.
Use a symbol defined in platform.h to control how error messages
can be formatted to display the 'errno' message. On platforms that
support it use '%m'; on other platforms use '%s' and strerror().
On platforms that have '%m' there is essentially no change in the
size of the binary. Otherwise:
function old new delta
redirect 1287 1310 +23
xtcsetpgrp 27 44 +17
dup2_or_raise 34 51 +17
setinputfile 267 275 +8
.rodata 163379 163371 -8
