# Upstream unsets only `NODE_PATH`, we have added
# the unset of `NIX_LDFLAGS` because:
#
# With a large number of deps, these env vars can
# be large (>128k), such that leaving them exported and
# attempting to invoke shell commands can lead to
# misleading "Argument list too long" errors, which
# actually indicate that kernel-limited env space has
# been exceeded. If unsetting `NIX_LDFLAGS` is problematic
# or cannot be upstreamed, an alternate approach is to
# toggle the exported property on the large env variables
# and/or trying to use something like `passAsFile`.
