Sounds rather unclean to me, but if no one else cares, I won't insist.

I saw that (that's why I said ``almost identical''), but the
difference is still very minor, so that a version that suits both

I mean that, since WinCE doesn't have errno.h, you could define error
symbols such as EINTR and EMFILE as appropriate for values returned by
GetLastError.
