Ok.

So, the code thinks that all has worked successfully. Grrrrr.
Let's try and refine this. Do things work correctly if you use putenv
rather than setenv? (Ie, maybe the problem lies with (our use of) gcc
2.95's setenv routine.)
Could you alter this function in src/support/filetools.C? Do it in two
steps. Ie, add (and use) the diagnostic below and secondly use the '#if 0'
to bypass this block entirely and use the HAVE_PUTENV block.
bool PutEnv(string const & envstr)
{
// CHECK Look at and fix this.
// f.ex. what about error checking?
-#if defined (HAVE_SETENV)
+#if 0
string name;
string const value = split(envstr, name, '=');
int const retval = ::setenv(name.c_str(), value.c_str(), true);
+ lyxerr << "PutEnv(" << envstr << ")\n"
+ << '\t' << name << '\n'
+ << '\t' << value << '\n'
+ << std::endl;
#elif defined (HAVE_PUTENV)
Sorry about all this.
