When chdir() fails, the errno value contains the reason for the failure. Using die() instead of die_errno() loses this information, making it harder to diagnose failures. Switch to die_errno() to include the system error message in the output. Signed-off-by: Gatla Vishweshwar Reddy <redacted> --- setup.c | 4 ++-- 1 file changed, 2 insertions(+), 2 deletions(-)
