Hi Wesley --

Googled: daemontools errno

Result #1:
daemontools 0.76 errno patch
http://djbware.csi.hu/patches/daemontools-0.76.errno.patch

For a good explanation of the problem, see:
http://www.thedjbway.org/errno.html
which also describes a 'patchless' workaround. (Both entail equal amounts 
of effort.)

Best,
-- Ben
