Depends on the system. SVR4 systems (and some POSIX systems) tend 
to have these in errno.h, whereas Linux for example has it in 
stdlib.h. Non-standard places for non-standard items.

Whatever the placement is, we should probably alias these without
the preceding underscore to avoid porting problems.
