Yep, that's an understood corner case at any rate, and the intended behavior
is still to set the variable if the proxy module is installed for *any*
architecture. If the variable is set and you run a program for an
architecture that we don't have the menuproxy for, you get warnings on
stderr. If the variable isn't set and you run a program for an architecture
that we *do* have the menuproxy for, you get reduced functionality.
