for bsd:
int mib[4];
mib[0] = CTL_KERN;
mib[1] = KERN_PROC;
mib[2] = KERN_PROC_PATHNAME;
mib[3] = -1;
char buf[1024];
size_t cb = sizeof(buf);
sysctl(mib, 4, buf, &cb, NULL, 0);

and under hpux see

on irix we could get the inode of the exec file (no perfect but unique)

Thus it will be sufficient for human reporting
