Before glibc 2.32,
strerror() is not MT-Safe.(from man strerror on Ubuntu 26.04).
glibc 2.32 was released on 2020-08-05 and glibc 2.43 on 2026-01-24
(from https://sourceware.org/glibc/wiki/Glibc%20Timeline)
This patch stops the
threadsafety.pyaddon from warning aboutstrerror().strerrorwas used intest/cli/other_test.pyto testthreadsafety.pyso we also patch that to use a different thread-unsafe function.
