Dear FreeBSD Hackers, I was wondering if adding the glibc extension call, `secure_getenv`, to FreeBSD's libc is allowed. Obviously, this would not only need to be permitted but also wanted. In that latter department, I could see the need arise for `secure_getenv` when porting applications written for Linux as they are often written targeting glibc. Also, this addition would bring us more inline with other libc implementations such as musl libc. Thank you for your time, Lucy
