I'd still recommend the proposed solution though, implement err() for systems that don't have it, rather than cluttering the code.

Much of the code already used the C-standard fprintf+strerror approach, and for programs like zdump I'd rather not bother testing and configuring an optional reimplementation of BSD's 'err' function (or the GNU 'error' function for that matter) on platforms that lack it; it's not worth the hassle. The main point of the change was to improve the quality of the diagnostics in question so that they're as good as NetBSD's modifications.
