Does their implementation also ignore the effects of putenv() or
setenv() on LD_LIBRARY_PATH? They have no moral high ground
whatsoever if that's the case. But if it doesn't, an alternative
route to a solution could be to scan the original environment, strdup
and putenv each entry to move it to freshly malloc'd space, and
then reclaim the old environment area.
