Fix portability failure introduced in commits d2b0b60e7 et al.
I made a frontend fprintf() format use %m, forgetting that that's only safe in HEAD not the back branches; prior to 96bf88d52 and d6c55de1f, it would work on glibc platforms but not elsewhere. Revert to using %s ... strerror(errno) as the code did before. We could have left HEAD as-is, but for code consistency across branches, I chose to apply this patch there too. Per Coverity and a few buildfarm members.
