I don't know what Rob means, but like I said on the uclibc list,
__progname is already defined in the uclibc init code, although the
GNU aliases for it are not.
Since an extern __progname is already available, changing error.c to
output the basename of __progname gets the coreutils tests working
right. Otherwise, many of them fail due to the simple fact that the
tests expect to see the program name in the output.
When I posted about this on the uclibc list, some of the response was
downright inhospitable. I wonder if they like to hoard secrets, or if
they're just ashamed of what little they do know.
