This is a feature ;-) You will see in w32.c that Emacs sets
EMACSLOADPATH in the environment to the path it creates from known
directories, in order to set load-path correctly. And GDB probably
inherits that exports it to the Emacs being debugged...
We define EMACSLOADPATH in the environment because the Windows build
doesn't want to depend on PATH_LOADSEARCH macro being set at build
time (in epaths.h), since the compiled binary needs to be able to run
on a different machine. See init_lread.
Perhaps we should remove EMACSLOADPATH from process-environment when
we run inferior subprocesses?
