Not very many. Perhaps none. You can find out yourself: Just run

  env - /usr/bin/emacs -q --batch --eval '(pp process-environment)'

from the command line. Replace /usr/bin/emacs by the absolute path to
your emacs; with an empty environment, the emacs executable can't be
found outherwise. The standard emacs on one ubuntu system I have
access to, prints just nil in response. (If I redirect stderr to
/dev/null that is.)
