As a part of c799d150d5e9dae I've introduced a test case that tests whether passing error object between processes works. The test spawns a child which reports a system error, parent process then reads the error and compares with expected output. Problem with this approach is that error message contains stringified errno which is not portable. FreeBSD has generally different messages than Linux. Therefore, use g_strerror() to do the errno to string translation for us.
