Re: addr2line and the name of the executable

Hi Ranjit and Andrew,

I'm getting the feeling that we're trying to converge, but not quite
succeeding.

Neither of you haven't addressed the point I made in this post:

http://gcc.gnu.org/ml/java/2003-02/msg00507.html

...namely: if we change gnu.gcj.progname to unconditionally return argv[0],
then this is inconsistent with today's behavior on, say, i?86 Linux
where gnu.gcj.progname returns /proc/XXX/exe. For the record:
are you both saying that you want this to be changed? My original intention
was to only affect the mingw32 target and leave all other platforms
untouched. I am too new to this to be able to assess the consequences
of people relying on gnu.gcj.progname = /proc/XXX/exe and therefore
chose to tread lightly with my patch.
