    Note that static hints no longer break loader hints
    
    This commentary was carried over from the x86 version of the same code,
    but has actually been inaccurate for a while now. As of FreeBSD 12.x,
    all environments are used unless they disable each other. See
    39d44f7f15c ("kern_environment: use any provided environments [...]")
    for details.
