Note that  there can be slight differences between the FPC definitions and
the C file on some platforms. (kernel <-> libc. Mostly caused by
redistribution of functionality between kernel and libc). 

So to obtain a number -> identifier (EPerm, EBusy) mapping, it might be
wisest to check the FPC .inc first, since that is more likely to correspond
to whatever interface the pascal code is using.
