A simple way would be to patch out the ‘environ’ warning in Guile: it
didn’t exist before 3.0.10, it’s bogus (it fires even when you’re not
mutating the environment and even with just a single user thread, as is
the case here), and the comment itself doesn’t change program behavior.

If that’s not adequate, we could try and come up with a quick hack for
shepherd to avoid the ‘environ’ call at the top-level (though that’s
probably not something I would consider for inclusion in the Shepherd
proper.)

WDYT?

Ludo’.
