It is different.

I could request e.g the output of a
show solib-search-path
command from the problem reporter and see the effective value immediately.

show env
shows the environment the inferior will see, not necessarily GDB's own
environment. If someone does a set env in his .gdbinit file, you are lost.
And yes, I really have seen such scenarios ...
