It’s an environment variable making ld.so preload dynamical libraries 
before any other, so that you can overwrite any C function with another, 
just by specifying a .so library implementing it in that variable.  You 
can use that to tweak the behavior of any program.  Lars was using that as 
an argument to state it is futile to stop users from running proprietary 
software if they want to since they can do it anyway that way.

I agree the issue is not stopping users, but making them run such software 
anyway, whatever their specific will regarding emacs.
