Subject: tools/nolibc: add support for program_invocation_{,short_}name
X-Git-Url: http://git.ipfire.org/gitweb.cgi?a=commitdiff_plain;h=b74be922745989573eedee2a91d987711ef968bd;p=thirdparty%2Fkernel%2Flinux.git

tools/nolibc: add support for program_invocation_{,short_}name

Add support for the GNU extensions 'program_invocation_name' and
'program_invocation_short_name'. These are useful to print error
messages, which by convention include the program name.

As these are global variables which take up memory even if not used,
similar to 'errno', gate them behind NOLIBC_IGNORE_ERRNO.
