Along with checking for presence of <error.h> some toolchains also
require to check for error() function to avoid linking error, e.g.
powerpc64-unknown-linux-musl-gcc from Gentoo:
[17/18] powerpc64-unknown-linux-musl-gcc -o ping/ping ping/ping.p/ping.c.o ping/ping.p/ping_common.c.o ping/ping.p/ping6_common.c.o ping/ping.p/node_info.c.o -Wl,--as-needed -Wl,--no-undefined -Os -pipe -mcpu=970 -mtune=970 -maltivec -mabi=altivec -Wl,-O1 -Wl,--as-needed -Wl,-z,pack-relative-relocs -Wl,--start-group libcommon.a -lm -lresolv -Wl,--end-group
