Run "unset LD_PRELOAD" before running gnupg if you don't trust the system?

It's an inherent feature of the loader. Compiling everthing statically
only works around this inherent feature/problem, however you call it.
And it wouldn't prevent any other keyloggers or flaws in drivers.

Just my 2c though.
