Ah. Then, shouldn't we have an option WITHOUTSTDIOERRNO or somesuch, and ignore the errno values if it is defined?

We already have NO_FOPEN_ERRNO; the comment says "Metroworks [sic] only".

"Cannot open file" doesn't say much, but it's better than "Errno 0".

#ifdef NO_FOPEN_ERRNO /* Metroworks only, not testable, so unchanged */ if (errno == 0) { PyErr_SetString(PyExc_IOError, "Cannot open file"); return NULL; } #endif

So it's not saying "Errno 0" in that case.

If I'm right in guessing that configure is only used on unix (am I?)

Yes.

then adding support for this option to configure isn't needed, I guess.

I'm not clear on what you would like beyond NO_FOPEN_ERRNO.
