Well, as other has mentioned. GNU libc has a non-compliant version of
strerror_r.

I have met this in multiple places the last decade. The usual way to
fix it is to also check for GNU libc in addition to _GNU_SOURCE.
#if defined (__GLIBC__) && defined (_GNU_SOURCE)
/* non-standard GLIBC exception */
#else
/* standard behavior for everything else */
#endif
