+Subject: [PATCH] compat: don't re-define program_invocation_short_name
+
+program_invocation_short_name is defined in errno.h, and its definition
+can differ between the various C libraries: glibc defines it as:
+    extern char *program_invocation_short_name;
+
+while uClibc defines it as:
+    extern const char *program_invocation_short_name;
+
+So there is not simple solution to know the prototype.
+
+But since it is defined in errno.h, there is no reason to try and define
+it ourselves; let's just trust what the header provides.
