Thank you! I believe ENV_IS_EMBEDDED will do what I need. I had based
my bsp on sequoia, which did not have this set.
Also, I had a misconception about ENV_IS_EMBEDDED - I had thought it
meant that the environment was permanently part of the text segment,
which would not be good for me. But after studying the code, I now
understand that ENV_IS_EMBEDDED is only for the initial environment.
I would like to withdraw my patch.
I would still like to pursue my proposed "setenv.patch" - that one
changes setenv() to return an integer rather than void. If you have any
comments on it, please let me know.
Thanks again,
Steve
