## Why it failed
When compiling with strict compiler flags (-Wwrite-strings -Werror=discarded-qualifiers),
the build fails with the following error:
```
cmake \
-S . \
-B ../llama.cpp.build \
--preset=x64-linux-gcc-debug \
-DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=/tmp/local \
-DCMAKE_C_FLAGS="-Wwrite-strings -Werror=discarded-qualifiers" && \
cmake --build ../llama.cpp.build/
...

```
The issue is that putenv() expects a non-const char * but receives a string literal (const char *).
## How to fix
This PR replaces putenv("KMP_BLOCKTIME=200") with setenv("KMP_BLOCKTIME", "200", 0).
Benefits of setenv():
- Accepts const char * parameters (no qualifier warnings)
- Makes copies of the strings (safer memory handling)
- The third parameter (0) ensures we don't overwrite if already set
