 I think it would be fine to do this in libc directly rather than via
 LD_PRELOAD.  That would let it work for static binaries as well as
 dynamic libraries.  My understanding is that this is how stdbuf works on
 Linux (glibc honors the relevant magic environment variables).  To that
 end, I think it would be ok to move this into libc directly.
 
 One more question, do you use the same environment variable as glibc for
 this, or do you use a different scheme?
