Due to an implementation detail on Windows, using `LIBRARY_PATH` will automatically add the path of any library found to the loader's path. So in that case `LD_LIBRARY_PATH` won't be needed. Test Plan: ./validate along with T14611 which has been made Windows only due to linux using the system linker/loader by default. So I feel a testcase there is unwarranted as the support is indirect via glibc.
