Sure, but the modified test program has unspecified behavior in POSIX, 
as there's no guarantee that environ[1] is "abc" (it might be "mno").  
Whereas the original test program has well-defined behavior in POSIX, 
but reports an error because FreeBSD 10.1 getenv is buggy.

Anyway, Emacs now works around the FreeBSD bug so I'm closing this Emacs 
bug report.  Thanks for checking the fix.
