I agree with Tim; the main purpose is to prevent regressions in our
implementation, not to evaluate conformance to any given standard.  In
fact, I created the test to ensure I didn't break strerror() or
strerror_r() while fixing a conformance bug in strerror_r().

What's the output of:

ident /usr/lib/libc.so.* | grep strerror.c
