I don't think this works: there are a bunch of environment variables
that we accept (to tune the uClibc config file, the Busybox config
file, the host gcc to use, etc.). And we also accept the feature that
all BR2_<foo> values can be overridden using environment variables. So
I don't think wiping out the entire environment is possible. However,
we could /maybe/ (if that's possible), wipe out the entire environment
*except* the BR2_<foo> variables, and the few other variables that we
explicitly accept. But I'm not sure how to achieve that.

Best regards,

Thomas
