Hm. On SnowLeopard, I actually got a total different error, where we failed while checking what source control system we were using ( run_webkit_tests.py:483  host._initialize_scm() ) which would've been before we even start to check the build. I suspect there are several things that get confused by the libgmalloc logging (not to mention that this slows everything down).

As a workaround you can add a line in Tools/Scripts/webkitpy/layout_tests/port/webkit.py:479 or thereabouts that sets the value you want.

You can also create a wrapper script that sets this variable and then use the --wrapper command line arg, e.g.:

$ cat > gmalloc_wrapper
#!/bin/bash
DYLD_INSERT_LIBRARIES=/usr/lib/libgmalloc.dylib $*
$ run-webkit-tests --wrapper=$PWD/gmalloc_wrapper
...

Conceivably we could also add a command line switch that allows you to push variables only into DRT's environment (without affecting the rest of the script), but maybe the wrapper approach is good enough.
