I was thinking of modifying error.h and error.c so that the *.m4 files
aren't strictly necessary; if you omit them, you can simply use
error.h and error.c as-is.
That would make it much handier, which is important for a thing like
this.
This would be simpler to integrate, though
it would have some downsides as well: your application would always
use your copy of the error module, rather than libc's version (if
available),
Why is it complex to tell whether `error' is in libc, why does it need
a special macro? Isn't AC_CHECK_FUNC sufficient?
your copy wouldn't be reentrant since it would use
strerror rather than strerror_r.
That doesn't matter in these cases, since replacing the old-style
error function would always pass 0 for the error code.
