Missing/undocumented HAVE_STRERROR_R

[Jens Alfke-2]

I'm debugging a problem that involves some errors logged by SQLite via unixLogErrorAtLine(). The messages contain an errno value but not the associated message. The message is missing because the call to strerror_r() is #ifdef'd out by this line:

        #if SQLITE_THREADSAFE && defined(HAVE_STRERROR_R)

There are no other references to HAVE_STRERROR_R in the SQLite source code or in our build settings, and no mentions of it in the documentation. I did a web search, and the top hits are all copies of sqlite3.c.

I can fix this by adding -DHAVE_STRERROR_R to our compiler flags, but it seems like this flag should be documented, or even better, set automatically based on the platform.

I noticed that sqlite-src-${version}.zip/autoconf/configure.ac already
contains autodetection snippet for this function:
  AC_FUNC_STRERROR_R
but sqlite-src-${version}.zip/configure.ac misses this check.
