I'm not sure if you modified anything in your source tree, but my
/usr/src/Makefile has this line very close to the start of the file:

PATH=   /sbin:/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin

so what is the problem, exactly? :)

If you are building stuff by hand, you are outside regular territory
anyway, and you should simply pay attention to your PATH yourself.
