SCons is setting up an Environment for you with default values, and you're always free to change the available env vars afterwards. 
As long as it works for you, it's allowed. ;)
If you're concerned about overwriting your "base" environment, either Clone() it and work on a copy (e.g. staticLibEnv = 
env.Clone()), or use the feature of appending variable overrides to your Builder call:

   env.Program('myexe', Glob('*.c'), _LIBFLAGS = '-Wl,--start-group $STATIC_LIBS -Wl,--end-group ' + env.subst('$_LIBFLAGS'))
