[Bug libc/447] New: No useful thread safe error to string function

["olaf at cbk dot poznan dot pl" <sourceware-bugzilla at sources dot redhat dot com>]

Glibc uses obsolete:
char *strerror_r(int errnum, char *buf, size_t n);

There is no other function to get an error description in thread safe way.

And even the function described above sometime uses the user supplied buffer,
and sometime allocates a new string. So it is not consistent and renders error
reporting not reliable. 

BTW. What is "Host triplet", "Target triplet", "Build triplet"?
