Porting of some programs originally written for glibc over to cygwin would be easier if cygwin could provide the global variables char* program_invocation_{short_,}name, set automatically to match argv[0] of main(), and declared in <errno.h> when strict standards compliance isn't requested. Is it worth my time to go ahead and submit a patch to add this? Or is our party line still that as long as you are using non-portable means, you should just continue to use readlink("/proc/self/exe") when porting to cygwin?
