The definition of HAVE_UNSETENV should be in 
$DBHOME/include/postgresql/server/pg_config.h and matches up with what 
the server compile environment found.  This could be different than the 
pljava compile environment if the server was built on a different 
machine or if additional libraries were installed after the server 
build.  If you build the server and then immediately build pljava 
against that server it should definitely work.  Can you clarify how your 
server was built?
