It is possible to run systems with Linux (the kernel) without mounting
/proc at all, and Emacs is very much interested in functioning correctly
there.  Moreover, the value of /proc/self/exe is sometimes completely
meaningless, as on Android, where Emacs is loaded into
/system/bin/app_process64 as a shared library.
