Using Eclipse the lldb-server environment is empty as nothing sets it.

I tried the attached patch (a copy from StartDebugserverProcess()) which does
fix it for local debugging but it is apparently a wrong patch as it provides
to the application environment from gdbserver, not from Eclipse as it should
by QEnvironmentHexEncoded packets.

As I should do something else is there some known status of the environment
passing? Isn't it some unimplemented Linux-port feature?
