d'oh.
Now you say this, I always found stupid distros that don't include sbin in user PATHs: utilities like ip and a few others are perfectly useable as reglar users to query the system state and the first thing I always do is to add /sbin to my path on the rare distros that do this (debian-based distros only?) so it totally slipped out of my head :/
I guess it's possible to make kbuild check both sbin and PATH, would that be acceptable?
I'll have a look at how to do that if so. -- Dominique
