Never seen this before. The compiler that you use is x86_64-linux-gnu-gcc,
therefore I guess the OS is GNU/Linux. What are the values of
  HAVE_DECL_PROGRAM_INVOCATION_SHORT_NAME
and
  HAVE_DECL_PROGRAM_INVOCATION_NAME
in config.h ? If you have several config.h files, can you look in each of them,
and which config.h file is being actually used?

Yes. But that code is well-tested by many packages on many platforms.
