I'm not convinced that gnucash-env is obsolete.  Indeed, there's
an argument that gnucash-bin should be moved into overrides and that
the top-level "gnucash" should set just set the PATH to include the
overrides, and then call:

  gnucash-env gnucash-bin "$@"

Arguably gnucash-valgrind should do something similar:

  gnucash-env valgrind -v \
    --suppressions=${TOP_SRC_DIR}/src/valgrind-gnucash.supp  \
    --error-limit=no \
    --tool=callgrind \
    --instr-atstart=no \
    --collect-atstart=no \
    gnucash-bin "$@"

But that's just my personal opinion....
