Description 
with the introduction of brandz the linker on x86 was made aware of the new
brand aux vectors, and if the linker detects that it's executing in a branded
environment then it ignores the LD_* environment variables that would normally
affect it's operation.  instead it checks for LD_BRAND_* variables.  unfortunatly
support for this was only implemented on x86.  this functionaltiy should also
be supported on sparc.
