errno is an int, and the values I think are not
guaranteed to be positive (like with glibc). I work on a system where
they
are all negative.
What is the system?

What you say is now clearer to me, and sounds reasonable. Still, I'm
curious about this other system you are using; I think on every system
I encountered, error numbers are positive.
Perhaps errno macros as positive numbers are a de facto convention.
