379,Generate POSIX errno Constants,chromatic,whiteknight,"There's no easy way in Parrot right now to refer to EPERM, EAGAIN, EINTR, and other POSIX errno constants as constants (see the err i, i opcode, for example).  The ability to do so would help us write more portable code that doesn't rely on hard-coded magic numbers or the hope of matching against the output of strerror().

It would be trivial to write a short configuration-process file which runs a C program to generate a PASM file with these values.  It's a quick task to do, but connecting it to the right place in the configuration process might be a little trickier.",RFC,closed,normal,,configure,,medium,wontfix,,jkeenan,,,all
