Could you fold this into the __LIBBPF_ERRNO__START test body to denote that it
belongs outside the libbpf error range? For example, could be simplified like this:

if (err < __LIBBPF_ERRNO__START) {
int ret;

/* Handle ENOTSUPP separate here given it's kernel internal,
* but for sake of error string it has the same meaning as
* the EOPNOTSUPP error.
*/
if (err == ENOTSUPP)
err = EOPNOTSUPP;
ret = strerror_r(err, buf, size);
buf[size - 1] = '\0';
return ret;
}

Thanks,
Daniel
