Thanks for the pointer, but did you see my original question? How can I have
*only* thread local errno variable? Under Linux that functionality is provided
by overriding __errno_location() function. Under Cygwin definition of my own
__errno() function doesn't help.

And regarding the pointed out code:

int *
__errno ()
{
  return &_REENT->_errno;
}

That means, that multithreaded application must set global variable _REENT before
every libc call. No? Perhaps my understanding of things is completely wrong?

Any other suggestions?

Kind regards.
