Google doesn't give an obvious replacement.
Some places use:
#ifndef HAVE___PROGNAME
extern char *__progname;
__progname = argv[0];
#endif
See

&ct=clnk&cd=7&client=firefox
The problem with that approach was that in the relevant apps __program
is only used to initialize a global static variable in the next line,
and only that is used elsewhere. Wouldn't in that case assigning
__progname inside main (where argv is defined) break? We could move
the initialization into main though, I guess. But then again the
problem was a linker problem, so "extern" still sounds wrong.
