FreeBSD's printf formats %m as the message for the errno value at the
time of the call. On Linux a format with %m went to glibc, which looks
the number up in Linux's table, so guest errno values above 34 got
another error's text: with errno 35 (EAGAIN) "[%m]" printed
"[Resource deadlock avoided]" instead of "[Resource temporarily
unavailable]", and errno 63 (ENAMETOOLONG) printed "Out of streams
resources". On Windows, and on Linux when the format also had a wide
argument, the guest formatter threw on %m.

FreeBSD 11.4, lib/libc/stdio/vfprintf.c:

	saved_errno = errno;
	...
		case 'm':
			cp = strerror(saved_errno);
			size = (prec >= 0) ? strnlen(cp, prec) : strlen(cp);
			sign = '\0';
			break;

The guest formatter now saves errno when it starts and formats %m as a
string with the guest strerror_r text, so width, precision and the -
flag apply as FreeBSD's string path applies them. On Linux a format with
%m goes to the guest formatter like one with a wide argument.
