I just had a bit more of a look into my Linux box, and found that this file
was meant to be pointing to /usr/include/bits/errno.h - so I have now
changed the /usr/include/errno.h to reflect this.  I'll do a recompile
sometime in the future and see how it goes.  I do find it a bit strange that
<bits/errno.h> didn't find /usr/include/bits/errno.h though!

I have an issue with NFS not starting properly, but as I am not running NFS
right now, I'll look into this before I need to run NFS.

Regards,
Hilton
