Dear bruce, See my attempt to provide program name under aix hpux and irix,
If you could test it, i could help you Btw instead of creating our own interface why not use the well known bsd interface? Getprogname() and setprogname()?

It is slightly more complicated than that: The *at gnulib modules need to not drag in gnulib modules that have an extended interface requirement. viz. a call to set_program_name(). As has been pointed out in this thread, there are lots of end-case issues that need resolution for a perfect implementation. An "adequate" implementation needs to not seg fault during an attempt to print an informative message. That can be handled by either not necessarily calling error() on an error, or by changing error() to not require that program_name be set. When I get back from my Christmas weekend, I propose fiddling the code the least invasive way possible for libposix and let the Perfect Implementation come later. I'd rather to rework than stall around any more.
