interesting that clearenv() is labeled non-standard and
then used as part of a compliant solution



Well, it does say it may be used "if available":



I saw that and believe that "compliant" and "if available"
are mutually exclusive, i.e., compliance should be w.r.t.
the standard and not the output of ./configure



No, because that site isn't talking about compliance to POSIX.
It's talking about compliance to the "CERT C Secure Coding Standard":
<https://www.securecoding.cert.org/confluence/display/seccode/CERT+C+Secure+Coding+Standard>.

(Also see
