It appears to be related to the use of std::setw.  Maybe you could
use some hacks to try to force it to recognize errno, e.g. directly
referencing it?  Howard, can you think of any way to approach
debugging this?

[ incidentally, IMO the use of >135 columns of text in
 libs/test/src/unit_test_result.cpp is impolite.  Of course I can't
 force anyone to stay within 80 columns, but 138 is unreasonably wide
 for code that other people have to read
