The solution is NOT to make your program dependent on the directory it was run from and use compiled-in paths [+ env variables] [+ command line options] to specify the location -- which I believe is the norm. But if you insist, you can use g_file_read_link() and resolve the symlinks (or realpath() if the target OSes provide it). But it will break anyway if someone makes a hardlink or simply copies the binary somewhere.
