setuid/setgid process now ignores any glibc tunables, and filters out
all environment variables that might changes its behavior. This patch
also adds GLIBC_TUNABLES, so any spawned process by setuid/setgid
processes should set tunable explicitly.

Checked on x86_64-linux-gnu.

This should be committed earlier, before the patch that removes
SXID_ERASE support.

Otherwise:

Do you mean move it before 'elf: Ignore GLIBC_TUNABLES for setuid/setgid binaries'
patch?
