RFA: avoid deprecated sys_nerr variable


2004-10-12  Jim Blandy  <jimb@redhat.com>

	* ptrace-target.c (ptrace_create_child): Don't use sys_nerr to
	check that errno is in a valid range.  The use sys_nerr is
	deprecated on GNU/Linux, and according to the ISO C standard and
	POSIX, strerror always returns a valid string, even for invalid
	errno codes.
