You should check to see if crt saves the third argument to start/main.
That's what environ is. But you'll need to look at the code.

src/lib/libc/gen/getenv expects environ to be a global variable:

	extern char	**environ;


and if getenv is called, that may be where that comes from. It's defined in
pdp/csu/crt0.s:_environ: .=.+2 /   others
where it also looks to be set. Is crt0.o not getting pulled in for some
reason?
