0.8 doesn't compile on *BSD (including OS X)

[atombender]

This is due to errno.cc attempting to use the GNU version of strerror_p, which is different on *BSD.

This means Hyperdex 1.8.1 doesn't compile, either, since it wants libpo6 >= 0.8. Can you roll another release with your latest fixes?

It was solved as part of the latest code refactorings in https://github.com/rescrv/po6/blob/bfb73ea7a44a113e54fa717f6290b18997457071/errno.cc

If you have downloaded libpo6-0.8.0 from http://hyperdex.org/src to resolve the issue and were able to make it, just update lines 36-63 of errno.cc in extracted .tar.gz with lines 35-67 from the link above.
