That's what I do now (patches for __progname). Unfortunately some
linux distributions forcing __progname, even Owl:

in Owl's popa3d we have a #ifdef, which really helps.

#ifdef HAVE_PROGNAME
extern char *__progname;
#define progname __progname

http://cvsweb.openwall.com/cgi/cvsweb.cgi/Owl/packages/popa3d/popa3d/startup.c?rev=1.4;content-type=text%2Fplain

but for Owl's msulogin we need a patch for musl:
