I'd drill deeper into this to find out why if I had the time, but in any
case, are you sure you want to rely on such brittle, undocumented behavior?

Goerzen's MissingH has an addToAL that's perfect for the job:

    origEnv <- getEnvironment
    let clobberedEnv = addToAL origEnv "GOBIN" dest

I prefer not to use setenv, because I want to exec into the binary later
