FYI:
With musl, utmpx is stubbed out and utmp is wrappers for utmpx, so
users should disable utmp(x)-related programs and code.

(The point is to let things build, but not use utmp because the maintainer
considers it a fundamentally flawed idea.)

Additionally, systemd is working on allowing disabling of utmp(x).

This seems to imply that --disable-utmp/--disable-utmpx options would be
helpful.

I'm glad to see use of POSIX basename(), which is the only version that
musl implements.

The way musl implements basename, strdup() is not needed, but following
POSIX is better than relying on implementation-specific details.
