      In NeXTOS 2.0, there is no way (that I know of) to redefine a function
      that is in the standard library. Otherwise I could simply rely on the
      emacs getenv stuff, since it seems to work.

   Try linking with /lib/libsys_p.a. It worked for bash...

This is one of several things that needed to be done.  I'm sorry it has
taken me so long to get back to you on this, but I needed to get my NeXT
upgraded to 2.0.  It turns out there are a lot of little things to fix.
Fortunately, I have the source for emacs 18.55 for the next under 2.0
(courtesy of Franz, Inc.'s new lisp distribution for the NeXT), so I could
get the relevent fixes.  I will make up a tar file and put it on
cs.uiuc.edu.  Hopefully tomorrow (Wednesday).
