the utmp business should be added to the faq..
and probably to the differences compared to glibc page as well
utmp.h was never part of any standard so it can contain anything
it could include paths.h (all the macros there are in the reserved
name space anyway), glibc does include paths.h there and the bsds
define _PATH_LASTLOG
the musl paths.h has _PATH_LASTLOG defined twice
the "/dev/null/xxx" is a file that's guaranteed to fail to get
opened or unlinked
