OpenBSD assumes it is. And on Linux, man 5 utmp claims: "The file
format is machine-dependent, so it is recommended that it be processed
only on the machine architecture where it was created."

Either will work as long as it's done consistently everywhere. NULLing
the first entry seems slightly better (in case anyone has their own
pointer, or doesn't check for NULL), but I've added a guard against an
already-NULL environ. (This version also uses a slightly less harmful
Makefile hack.)
