This happens, because our /bin/sh is a "real" sh (and not a bash) that only allows to "export LD_LIBRARY_PATH" as a separate command.

You mean it's a "real" sh and not a POSIX-compatible one. http://pubs.opengroup.org/onlinepubs/009695399/utilities/export.html

Whatever it is, maybe it is a Korn Shell under (older) Solaris, it does not support:

The Korn shell is where the `export NAME=value` syntax originated.

I am tempted to suggest that we verify that this is still in current POSIX standards (the cited one is from 2004); POSIX recently dropped a significant number of Korn-shell-derived behaviors from the standard.

This one is from 2013: http://pubs.opengroup.org/onlinepubs/9699919799/utilities/V3_chap02.html#exp... Roman
