Is there a way to get at that? I do not think there is. And that is the reason why we see everywhere calls to die_errno(), error(..., strerror(errno)), etc. As this is interpolated into trace with untranslated string, I suspect that strerror() is not a good match, so let's live with %d for now. Thanks.
