This is not something that is absolutely necessary. __progname quite
often is used on *BSD and less on Linux (eg. Owl's msulogin,
popa3d)... but __progname is always easy to fix.
Here we have the OpenBSD repo and content /bin directories:
http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/cvsweb/src/bin/
And here's a list of programs (from /bin/) that require __progname (70% of all):
mv
systrace
md5
cp
chmod
cat
rmail
kill
sleep
rmdir
mkdir
extern
ps
df
rcp
ln
date
chio
domainname
stty
rm
pwd
hostname
For __progname we probably need to modify (asm) files in the musl/crt/.
Best regards,
Daniel
