I'm going to keep that adjustment in the macro for now, then.

Yep, I did consider that and arrived to a similar conclusion. Well, there's an
option of using alloca as long as no use is in a loop, but that's a bit uglier,
and as I recall it wasn't optimized to a static stack allocation.
I forgot to ask before, shouldn't __procfdname_impl have a visibility
annotation?
And likewise for other internal functions. There are some internal functions
without hidden/internal visibility annotation, visible outside of libc.so.
That seems unintended and slightly harmful.
