In most situations, this is completely unnecessary and will create more problems than it may solve. Better ask on the mailing list how to do it right if you can't think of a better solution.

Of course, if you don't care about broken systems (like MS-DOG) not supporting strerror() you can just replace sys\_errlist[] directly (upstream might not accept your patch, but debian should have no problem)
