Details:

Hi,

While compiling your package using our research compiler infrastructure we
notice the following conflicting initialisations:

- gnulib/lib/progname.c:const char *program_name = NULL;
- tests/test-canonicalize.c:const char *program_name = "test-canonicalize";

The actual value of program_name is thus undefined as the linker is free to
choose either. According to the comments in progname.c, the proper code for
test-canonicalize.c would be to

1. declare proggram_name extern
2. set its value in main()

Best,
Michael
