Patches 1-2-6 are obvious.

I'm not sure about 3-4-5, these are internal functions where the error
is somewhere below "should never happen" (&error_abort)---it actually
should never happen, but exiting due to SIGABRT sounds wrong.  It's not
the kind of function that I'd expect to have an Error** argument...
