even libc exposes a pile of data, including stdin, stderr and stdout,
and that seems to work just fine.

Switching this from a #define to a exported variable makes the change
minimally invasive while solving the problem nicely. Anything more
complicated will be harder to understand and end up slower than this
solution. I don't see any benefit there.
