Re: errno assignment problems

If kernel adds one day a new errno value, glibc will suddenly stop building
(before Roland's changes it would mean sys_errlist would suddenly grow
breaking binary compatibility).
If it gets larger, ie. new entries are added to the end of the table
and existing entries stay identical, how could that break an
application?
I trust what you say, I am just curious :-)
