Motivation for this change

Naive concatenation of $LD_LIBRARY_PATH can result in an empty colon-delimited segment; this tells glibc to load libraries from the current directory, which is definitely wrong, and may be a security vulnerability if the current directory is untrusted. (See #67234, for example.) Fix this throughout the tree.

Things done
  • Tested using sandboxing (nix.useSandbox on NixOS, or option sandbox in nix.conf on non-NixOS linux)
  • Built on platform(s)
    • NixOS
    • macOS
    • other Linux distributions
  • Tested via one or more NixOS test(s) if existing and applicable for the change (look inside nixos/tests)
  • Tested compilation of all pkgs that depend on this change using nix-shell -p nixpkgs-review --run "nixpkgs-review wip"
  • Tested execution of all binary files (usually in ./result/bin/)
  • Determined the impact on package closure size (by running nix path-info -S before and after)
  • Ensured that relevant documentation is up to date
  • Fits CONTRIBUTING.md.

(This one is a no-op just to match the more common style, so that real problems can be found more reliably by grepping for :$LD_LIBRARY_PATH and $LD_LIBRARY_PATH:.)

This will cause mass-rebuild so it should target staging.

current directory, which is definitely wrong, and may be a security
vulnerability if the current directory is untrusted.  (See NixOS#67234, for
example.)  Fix this throughout the tree.

libversion: Fix unsafe concatenation of $LD_LIBRARY_PATH
665dfc2 
Naive concatenation of $LD_LIBRARY_PATH can result in an empty
colon-delimited segment; this tells glibc to load libraries from the
current directory, which is definitely wrong, and may be a security
vulnerability if the current directory is untrusted.  This particular
case probably has no security relevance, but we should avoid this
unsafe pattern anyway in case it gets copied.  See NixOS#76804.
