I had a look, but I didn't see any usages that appeared to be setting
environment variables at runtime on the target machine rather than
compile-time on the build machine ... and that's probably something I
should have clarified; I'm doing a cross-build where I need the
environment variable set on the target machine.  Are there examples of
that use-case that I'm missing, or is everything assuming that using
"setenv" on the build machine is sufficient?

(I'm guessing that there aren't, as I'm also not seeing any machinery
in e.g. remote.exp to hand off environment variables to the non-local
machine.)

Thanks,
