Do not reverse the order of envionment variables in the target environ
array relative to the incoming environ order.  Some testsuites depend on a
specific order, even though it is not defined by any standard.

Preferably using a dumber form (easier to review IMHO):

         while (wrk != environ) {
            wrk--;
            (void) envlist_setenv(envlist, *wrk);
         }
