If this was the intended use, the effective use was not in line with
it. execv and execvp had it differently.

With what I have added in my other mail (and you have snipped :) in
the current model there is even the danger that environ and __environ
split into two different objects.
char **environ;
int main(void) {
return (long)&environ;
}
When compile-linking this with musl I get both symbols environ and
__environ linked in.
So it would at least be good that the internal use of it in musl would
be consistent and the C library would not see two distinct objects.
