It is available in uClib
https://git.uclibc.org/uClibc/tree/libc/unistd/usershell.c

Also in musl, but strangely in legacy directory
https://git.musl-libc.org/cgit/musl/tree/src/legacy/getusershell.c

But I guess the best option is to add check to configure.ac and write
util-linux getusershell() fallback when it is not available. I'll do that
sometime soonish, about before end of the week.
