Dang. I must have missed adding load-unix to the distribution.
load-unix takes care of unlocking the UNIX package, but perhaps
unix-glibc2 should do that itself.

The fact that the file is unix-glibc2 is an implementation detail
where unix.lisp is used everywhere except on linux for historical
reasons.

I'll add unix-getenv to the core in the next snapshot. I'll take a
look through asdf to see if there are other items from the UNIX
package that are needed.

Sorry for the trouble and thanks for the report.

That's the preferred way so it doesn't get lost, but the mailing list
is ok too.
