I have only some concern if $0 does not contain a directory name.
Then `dirname basename` will be . and gdb -> ./gdb will be a regression as
./gdb will typically not be found.
For example if you run:
$ sh gcore foo
then sh (or bash) executes /usr/bin/gcore but $0 is still just "gcore".
It IMO even corresponds to the sh $0 POSIX description ("command_file"):
