Summary:                    error_at_line, etc. not compatible with GNU
Description: 
The uClibc implementation of error_at_line() and related functions omits
the program name from the error messages.

This causes many spurious test-suite failures in packages such as
coreutils, because error messages are no longer byte-for-byte identical to
what the self-checks expect.

I've attached a patch to make uClibc emit the name, so the tests don't
spuriously fail.  Note that issue http://busybox.net/bugs/view.php?id=1859 must
be fixed first, otherwise the
patch won't work when uClibc is shared, as __uclibc_progname would be
uninitialized.
