For the record: the right fix for this issue is to avoid introducing
getenv to rtld, for two reasons:
- getenv uses strncmp, and strncmp is not actually implemented in rtld on
x86-64 because rtld is not used to call strncmp directly or indirectly,
see also http://sourceware.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=11120
- locale-related environment sanitation could be implemented in a more
reliable way without relying on getenv.
I've applied the following change to my 2.16+ tree:
