Then it comes from texmf.cnf. You might have to temporarily set
it to the empty string before running luaotfload-tool. Maybe
there could be an option to skip $OSFONTDIR and the likes.

This should be harmless, except for the quirks of the lfs

I noticed TL tends to be more forgiving for Unixish assumptions.
