That's okay. I'll just rename the "who" executable and use the rest. I
built coreutils mostly for the "sort" program. I can use the standard "who".
How about change "/dev/null/utmp" to
""/dev/null/musl_does_not_support_utmp". Same for wtmp. And add a comment
where the file is specified in the headers?
