Remove LD_PRELOAD environment variable mask This pull request removes LD_PRELOAD from the environment variables masked by Portage. * Portage's sandbox appears to support prepending to an existing LD_PRELOAD: https://github.com/gentoo/sandbox/blob/7240cc9fb7cd6a9bc83b9ade5a385633f42e58d1/data/sandbox.bashrc#L4-L8 * When the sandbox is disabled, LD_PRELOAD doesn't appear to be used at all by Portage. However, Portage currently masks LD_PRELOAD, nullifying this functionality. Having LD_PRELOAD as a Portage variable can be useful for various reasons, in my specific case using a custom allocator when supported by the build process. I have tested this myself and it appears to work properly for the above use case, with and without the sandbox enabled (although the sandbox has its own custom allocator).
