Fix errno thread-safety under AIX
Unlike Linux or Solaris, errno under AIX is not thread-safe by
default.
This patch sets _THREAD_SAFE_ERRNO when AIX is detected in order to
force the thread-safe implementation of errno. Without this, calls
like stat() in the rrdtool plugin fail with errno incorrectly set,
leading to the inability to create previously absent rrd files.
Maybe _THREAD_SAFE should be set instead, to prevent other possible
threads-related problems, but this is enough to scratch my current
itch...
Here is the relevant part of /usr/include/errno.h on AIX:
#if defined(_THREAD_SAFE) || defined(_THREAD_SAFE_ERRNO)
/*
* Per thread errno is provided by the threads provider. Both the extern
* int
* and the per thread value must be maintained by the threads library.
*/
extern int *_Errno( void );
#define errno (*_Errno())
#else
extern int errno;
#endif /* _THREAD_SAFE || _THREAD_SAFE_ERRNO */
