[BRLTTY] Compiling brltty on Mac OS X

[Leo Abken]

Yep, changing the name of setErrno in usb_darwin.c did the trick. 
Brltty now compiles.  However, it does not install.  Make install 
fails part way through the install phase.  The failure happens when 
the drivers are being stripped.  Here is the output:

/usr/bin/install -c -s ../lib/*.bundle /usr/local/lib/brltty
strip: symbols referenced by indirect symbol table entries that can't 
be stripped in: /usr/local/lib/brltty/libbrlttybal.bundle

I suspect this failure has to do with these drivers being built with 
-flat_namespace -undefined suppress.

BTW this is on 10.4.  OSX 10.3 and later introduced two-level 
namespace so don't know if there's a good reason these are being 
built with flat namespace.
