Portability problems not fixed by Gnulib:
@itemize

The @code{%m} directive is not portable, use @code{%s} mapped to an
argument of @code{strerror(errno)} (or a version of @code{strerror_r})
instead.
@item
This function is missing on some platforms:
NetBSD 3.0, OpenBSD 3.8, Minix 3.1.8, HP-UX 11.00, IRIX 6.5, Solaris 2.6, Cygwin 1.5.x, Interix 3.5, BeOS.
