After updating the system from 5.1 to 6.0_BETA I've found that a lot of
applications built for 5.1 stop working due to lack of __cerror in libc.

mediatomb, for example, says

    /usr/lib/librt.so.0: Undefined symbol "__cerror" (symnum = 12)

This change probably comes from here

    http://mail-index.netbsd.org/tech-userlevel/2010/12/10/msg004230.html

Is this breakage expected?
