Workaround for Entware Binaries using RUNPATH

Added "unset LD_LIBRARY_PATH" line as a workaround due to latest Entware binaries using the RUNPATH library search mechanism instead of the previous RPATH method. RUNPATH is searched AFTER the LD_LIBRARY_PATH definitions, whereas RPATH has higher priority than the LD_LIBRARY_PATH environment variable so it's searched FIRST.
