Yeah, I had just come to the same conclusion upon seeing the buildfarm
still pink this morning. On my old HPUX box these codes are defined as
/usr/include/sys/errno.h:#define EPERM 1 /* Not super-user */
/usr/include/sys/errno.h:#define EACCES 13 /* Permission denied */
so EPERM seems like the wrong mapping for such an error anyway.
BTW, in case anyone with admin privileges is paying attention, the
buildfarm (a) is about two hours off on its system clock again,
and (b) hasn't sent out a daily status-change summary email since
Friday.
