 Posix test fails if /bin/echo isn't found for tst-vfork3.c in posix tests
 for glibc-2.7.

 Maybe should add this in creating essential symlinks.

   const char *path = getenv ("PATH");
   if (path == NULL)
     path = "/bin";
   char pathbuf[strlen (tmpdirname) + 1 + strlen (path) + 1];
   strcpy (stpcpy (stpcpy (pathbuf, tmpdirname), ":"), path);
   if (setenv ("PATH", pathbuf, 1) < 0)
     {
       puts ("setenv failed");
       return 1;
     }

 Haven't looked a whole lot into this, yet. Isn't echo in /tools/bin, too?
 And wouldn't /tools/bin be in the PATH?

 What the hell is the problem here? Is PATH really null when the tests are
 ran?
