Hi,

NetBSD's errno.h include defines sys_errlist as follows:

 | extern const char *const sys_errlist[];

This definition is somehow mangled with by Octave when compiling
file-ops.cc, so that the compiler reports an error, because it ends up
getting the declaration:

 | extern const char *const const sys_errlist[];


Unfortunately I was unable to track down where this happens. Removing
the include <errno.h> statement from safe-lstat.h fixed the problem
for me.
