When you put it that way, how can I say no to a first prize! :D
I have replaced all instances of ENOTSUPP with EOPNOTSUPP in these 2 files after making sure none of the functions returning it has a check for ENOTSUPP.
It seems most of the instances do not check for a return value anyways.
Please check v9 patch for the changes.

Thanks
