Ok... that is what I will do, unless  someone tells me that 
in non-mbaserel cases this definition causes unwanted effects in
the assembly code.

Another thing: the way the return statement is written in
strerror(), just:

	return(sys_errlist[errnum]);

causes gcc to issue a warning about the const type being
dropped.  It's unlikely to be a serious problem, but how should
it be written to keep the compiler happy?
