Yes but I guess I didn't comment it properly.  The line

   printed_errno = errno_str ? errno_str : self->myerrno;

ensures that we gracefully fallback to numeric errno when here is no
symbolic value available.  The code is only invoked if there is an
errno value, which takes care of most non-Unix platforms.
