PATH=/usr/local/bin:/bin:/usr/bin considered harmful

[Richard W.M. Jones]

A similar issue is that whenever anyone uses AC_PATH_PROG or related
in a configure script anywhere, it finds the /bin binary ahead of
/usr/bin.  You get odd-looking output from ./configure, and perhaps
other problems too (though I haven't seen any specifically).
