Description Gaetano Santoro

Build Identifier: I20110127-2034

environment variables defined in launch configurations environment tab are not visible by the gdb process. As consequence of this, command/executable launched inside .gdbinit script or other gdb script cannot use the above defined environment variable
this appears only in debug, while works in run mode

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. create a simple C hello world project
2. in launch configuration environment tab add a variable, for eg. ZHELLO = CIAO
3. start debug
4. with external tool like sysinternals project explorer check that the environment of gdb process don't have the ZHELLO variable defined

CDI has been removed so there is no more need for this fix.
