Even that would not work. For example, I have LD_PRELOAD set to tsocksify
all network connections, without which I could not download anything.
So, even though LD_PRELOAD looks like a good candidate to dump, it can be
valid in some cases.
I believe it is much better that Buildroot chokes on a select list of
variables, warn about a few others, and accept the rest.
