Comment (by Brian Kuhl <brian.kuhl@…>):

 It's effectively read only on every platform, you manipulate though
 setenv()
 POSIX says make it
 http://pubs.opengroup.org/onlinepubs/009695399/basedefs/xbd_chap08.html


 But a decade ago when the VxWorks implementation was done, the engineer
 didn't read the spec.
 Maybe it's time to change it, our rule of thumb here at Wind is POSIX
 compatibility before backward compatibility in user space and vise versa
 in the kernel.

 I'll file a defect on my side you can ignor this patch.
