: use of 'which' is a fatal flaw in this patch.

Funny; I don't see why.  If you're worried about security, that's one thing
(a root user should know his $PATH--this isn't setuid); if you're worried
about compatibility, there should be no problem using which.  The binary
/usr/bin/which (which sh uses, instead of csh's builtin) works as this
script uses it; if it finds cc/gcc, it prints only the first instance, and
if it doesn't, it prints nothing.
