i think the stdin logic here is broken.  when you fstat() stdin, you get back 
st_size == 0, and so you end up doing a read() on stdin of 0 bytes, and it 
writes out an empty image.

simple test:
echo foo=var | ./mkenvimage -s 0x1000 -o foo -
hexdump -C foo
<see that the env is empty>

running it through strace shows the bum read(0, "", 0) ...
