breakpad uses it, but i wouldn't worry too much about that ... it statically 
links things in general and should be easy to fix it

otherwise, the usual debug culprits like gdb, libunwind, strace, etc... *might* 
use it.  i find these proc headers are fairly uncommon though.

maybe github code search would help ?
