I see. It pays, then, to disambiguate between a Linux "system" (which is
the typical Emacs case) and Linux O/S-based, essentially embedded,
environments. In the "system" case, /proc/self/exe should be the
recommended method, I'd think. In embedded cases, whatever is appropriate
in those environments is what should be used.
