[PATCH v2 3/3] When switching optimization to higher levels (-O3) and enable link time optimization (-flto) my linker explodes because "__environ" is accessed through an alias named "environ", and that text segment has already been removed:

[Jens Gustedt]

`environ' referenced in section `.text.execvp' of /tmp/cckGfCaK.ltrans1.ltrans.o: defined in discarded section `.text' of src/env/__environ.lo (symbol from plugin)
/usr/bin/ld: BFD (GNU Binutils for Ubuntu) 2.22 assertion fail ../../bfd/elf64-x86-64.c:4365

Use the "real" name of __environ directly and make this code consistent
with other functions (such as execv) that already use __environ,
too.

Some places where "environ" is used may already have been silently
renamed through a macro in internal/libc.h, but it is probably better to
have that in the open.
