You don't need that.
kdelibs/kdecore/fakes.cpp provides an implementation for setenv
(obviously using putenv) if the system doesn't have it.
And config.h.bot provides the prototype for setenv in this case.
So the "real solution" is already in place. Did you actually hit a problem
while trying to compile KDE ?
