This doesn't help if you enclose a command that doesn't have such an
option between pipes. For instance:
$ iostat -x 1 | cat -u | tr MG mg | cat -u | grep -n ad1

Right we can almost always replace a pipeline of commands with an awk
(or whatever) script. But besides being sometimes inconvenient, saving
a process or pipe does not always leads to performance benefits. The
very example you took is a good illustration of my point: I sometimes
have to dig into big log files and awk is naturally very powerful. Yet
I noticed a *huge* performance gap between (gnu) grep and awk:
$ time grep -n 'include.*stdio' 'FreeNode/##c.log' > /dev/null
1.10 real 0.97 user 0.12 sys
$ time awk '{n+=1} /include.*stdio/{print n, $0}' 'FreeNode/##c.log' > /dev/null
3.74 real 3.63 user 0.08 sys

I wasn't aware of that. Out of curiosity, I tried the following
command in order to test this:
$ vmstat 1 | script -qt 0 /dev/null grep . | cat
And each line in output is printed twice. I didn't have time to
investigate though.

Well, an evil hack VS an even eviler workaround which is not as powerful
IMHO ;).
In fact, I made a far more better of version of my patch which doesn't
modify libc. Instead it introduces a new shared library (libstdbuf.so)
which is still controlled by environment variables, and an helper
command (stdbuf(1)) is provided to do the environment-fu (including
LD_PRELOAD) in your stead.
Unfortuntately I forgot to update it in the PR database. You will find
it attached to this email, I think the bug tracker will show it in the
PR afterward.
Can you tell me if it better fits your expectations in matter of
"low-hackiness"? The standard code path is not modified at all.
I would be glad if we could proceed with this, this is a feature I often
miss.
Thanks a lot for taking time to answer.
Regards,

+.Sh DESCRIPTION
+The
+.Nm
+library is meant to be preloaded with the
+.Ev LD_PRELOAD
+environment variable to as to change the initial buffering
+of standard input, standard output and standard error streams.
+.Pp
+Although you may load and configure this library manually,
+an utility,
+.Xr stdbuf 1 ,
+can be used to run a command with the appropriate environment variables.
+.Sh ENVIRONMENT
+Each stream can be configured indepentently through the following
+environment variables (values are defined below):
+.Bl -tag -width size -offset indent
+.It Ev STDBUF_0
+Initial buffering definition for the standard input stream
+.It Ev STDBUF_1
+Initial buffering definition for the standard output stream
+.It Ev STDBUF_2
+Initial buffering definition for the standard error stream
+.It Ev _STDBUF_I

+GNU-compatible variable equivalent to
+.Ev STDBUF_1
+.It Ev _STDBUF_E
+GNU-compatible variable equivalent to
+.Ev STDBUF_2
+.El
+.Pp
+Each variable may take one of the following values:

+.It Qq L
+line buffered
+.It Qq B
+fully buffered with the default buffer size
+.It Ar size
+fully buffered with a buffer of

+.Sh EXAMPLE
+In the following example, the stdout stream of the

+command
+will be fully buffered by default because it does not refer
