as I understand your idea, the code from both versions of env_init
(redundant env and non-redunant) which is framed by 
"#ifdef ENV_IS_EMBEDDED" may potentially be moved to, or called by
env_relocate_spec. I think this could work. If this ok for you,
I can come up with a tested proposal. But this would need some days.
