Hi all,
Thanks for your replies.

I felt too that it's reasonable passing envp. But, it will waste some
kilo-bytes of local storage. So I think it's necessary to define some
environment variables like SPE_NO_ARGS so that users can select.
BTW, is there any specification document about elfspe and/or environment
variables used by elfspe.

Anyway, I will make patches for it with some code cleanup patches which
make easier to add envp.

Hum, I'm not familiar with it, but I'll try.
