How to get POSIX strerror_r instead of GNU version?

Question

How do I get the POSIX strerror_r instead of GNU version?

I\'m compiling with g++ on Ubuntu 8.04 with glibc version 2.7 ( based on what\'s in ).

This is an implementation-specific workaround.

#ifdef __cplusplus
extern "C"
    {
#endif
    extern 
    int __xpg_strerror_r(int errcode,char* buffer,size_t length);
    #define strerror_r __xpg_strerror_r

#ifdef __cplusplus
    }
#endif
