It doesn't lack for bravery! (And I have to just comment that the linker storing pointers into that space as a way of
findinglibraries... well, that doesn't get them the moral high ground for nasty hacks.)
I'm comfortable with "if you are using musl, you don't get the ps messages" as a first solution, if we can find a way
ofdetecting a libc that passes the other tests but doesn't support any of the existing hacks.
