[issue8453] build_installer.py breaks bzip compilation

I believe it's XCode 2.4.1.

I know the script worked fine prior to the change that clears the environment, and commenting out just that piece of the latest trunk copy continues to work.

To be honest, I'm not sure how the build even finds gcc-4.0 (e.g., why it doesn't fail until ld) once PATH is cleared, nor do I fully understand the change.  How is the process supposed to work without a PATH?
