Exactly, hence my suggestion of a mechanism for prefixing external
commands with the name of a local "helper" that would work with the
current platform's libraries/linker. There's already a fork happening
so it doesn't seem worthwhile to try to build that functionality into
the shell itself.

Indeed, using unbuffer as the prefix command could be a fallback for
cases where there is no stdbuf equivalent.
