okay, since its something I've never used before, what do I do with the
output of the -E? :)

my output has 23 213 lines in it, most of it is just blank lines ... d'oh,
not bad, just found it ... neat :)

in libutil.h, with -E, I'm getting:

int     _secure_path  (const char * 9 , uid_t _uid, gid_t _gid)  ;

where it starts with:

int     _secure_path __P((const char *_path, uid_t _uid, gid_t _gid));

so something is converting _path -> 9?
