Well, EDQUOT was already specified in the same way in POSIX:2001:

So it would have been wiser if gnulib had started its errnos at 5000
instead of 2000. But it's hard to change it now: There may be shared libraries
already installed on some systems that set errno to values from gnulib's
<errno.h> replacement.
