+ * The tools so far have been using the strerror_r() GNU variant, that returns
+ * a string, be it the buffer passed or something else.
+ *
+ * But that, besides being tricky in cases where we expect that the function
+ * using strerror_r() returns the error formatted in a provided buffer (we have
+ * to check if it returned something else and copy that instead), breaks the
+ * build on systems not using glibc, like Alpine Linux, where musl libc is
+ * used.
+ *
+ * So, introduce yet another wrapper, str_error_r(), that has the GNU
+ * interface, but uses the portable XSI variant of strerror_r(), so that users
+ * rest asured that the provided buffer is used and it is what is returned.
