#12718: LD_LIBRARY_PATH shouldn't be applied to touch command
------------------------------------------+------------------------------
 Reporter:  Kan Li <likan_999.student@…>  |       Type:  Bugs
   Status:  new                           |  Milestone:  To Be Determined
Component:  Building Boost                |    Version:  Boost 1.63.0
 Severity:  Problem                       |   Keywords:  LD_LIBRARY_PATH
------------------------------------------+------------------------------
 What causes problem is this line:
 https://github.com/boostorg/build/blob/09b6788/src/tools/gcc.jam#L228


 The line adds the lib directories of custom toolchain to LD_LIBRARY_PATH
 before running:
 some-binary-built-by-boost.build && touch some-file.passed

 For my case, it causes problem because my custom toolchain comes with a
 newer version of glibc. It has no problem running the binary under the
 modified LD_LIBRARY_PATH, but touch command complains about the new glibc.

 Logically speaking, only the first part requires the new LD_LIBRARY_PATH,
 while the touch command is pre-installed so it shouldn't be run under the
 modified LD_LIBRARY_PATH.
