Strictly speaking, if your executable is not readable (e.g. chmod 111
due to a restrictive umask) it will also fail that one.

You should include /dev/zero, which is commonly used to allocate anonymous
memory and is more likely present and readable than any of the other files.
And another file of choice is obviously argv[0] ;-) In this case you don't
need any of the other extra ones. Thus I could suggest that you try in this
order:
/dev/zero, /proc/self/exe, /proc/1/exe, argv[0]
and be done with it. That doesn't prevent one from extending the list if
really needed later, but I doubt it would be needed. Also, it's already
arranged in a read-write, then read-only fallbacks mode, so if we later
need to add more complex tests involving writes, the writable /dev/zero
will have precedence.
