Of stuff in PATH? /bin/sh is assumed throughout to be a Bourne
compatible shell (and SHELL and CONFIG_SHELL aren't universally
honoured). uname, hostname and sed are called with hard paths (with
various fallbacks) in several early on stages. Of stuff not in path?
There's no standard and widely used way of digging up where libexec
tools are.
