## Message

```
std: always allow spawning processes when an env map is explicitly provided (#25092)

In a library, the two `builtin.link_libc` and `builtin.output_mode ==
.Exe` checks could both be false. Thus, you would get a compile error
even if you specified an `env_map` at runtime. This change turns the
compile error into a runtime panic and updates the documentation to
reflect the runtime requirement.
```
