[ Correct email-address of linux-kbuild ML ]

This might be distro-specific:

[ /etc/login.defs ]

99:# *REQUIRED*  The default PATH settings, for superuser and normal users.
100:#
101:# (they are minimal, add the rest in the shell startup files)
102:ENV_SUPATH
PATH=/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/sbin:/bin
103:ENV_PATH    PATH=/usr/local/bin:/usr/bin:/bin:/usr/local/games:/usr/games

What is your recommendation?
