SunOS omits strerror, alas. Configure deduces NEED_SYS_ERRLIST=1, but
error_message.c checks for HAS_SYSERRLIST, so it winds up with "goto
oops".
Instead of ifdefing strerror and other missing routines you could add
them to a comptability library and link that. (libtelnet has some of
them anyway; might as well avoid duplicated effort.)
