I would hope not.  Speaking with my application-author hat on, one of
the biggest wins of __progname is that it *doesn't* require me to
preserve argv[0] from main down to the usage point (which usually means
either a shared global or an extra argument down through the call
chain, the latter sometimes bordering on impossible).  It's nice enough
that I even went to the trouble to produce a localized crt0 with
__progname on the SunOS machines I have occasion to build code on.
