Just because the OS doesn't have a variable called "errno" doesn't
mean you can't have it in the protocol.  Clearly there are errors --
the protocol simply encodes those by their POSIX errno values.  If
your OS doesn't support those, you just need a mapping.  It doesn't
sound like something that needs, or justifies, a protocol change.
