Fixed in c8b3f6987a7bbfe15ce2c2f04f308a6abc263d04.

Annoyingly, the test suite cannot detect this; we'd have to have a database of
expected *results* for the tests, which we don't, and we'd have to run the
test suite on an OS where strerror_r actually does return `char *`.  It
doesn't help that AC_COMPILE_IFELSE has no concept of "this compilation
failed, but not for the reason we think it might fail."
