1) The only variable exported to a process from libc is "environ",
not __environ or _environ. Look at src/lib/libc/stdlib/getenv.c for
an example, and confirmation.
2) Your code assigns environ = NULL, which is why I felt the above
commit has relevancy to you. You should be aware that there are many
different conditions where clearing environ on FreeBSD behaves
differently compared to other OSes; the commit makes it compatible with
pretty much everything.
