My understanding is that the idea is that this will fail if errno is
wrongly nonzero after strerror. But it's implicitly relying on the
wrongly set errno not having 77 as its low-order 8 bits (because that
would result in the test being UNSUPPORTED), and not being a nonzero value
with low 8 bits zero (because WEXITSTATUS only returns the low 8 bits).
OK with errno != 0 returned instead, to avoid those issues.
