Follow-up Comment #3, bug #28934 (project hurd):
Hi Carl,
Actually I don't think the exec server needs to know what exec*() variant has
been called, since the call itself will have called execve() with the full
path by looking at PATH if needed (see glibc's posix/execvpe.c, the beginning
of the do-while() loop around line 140).
Anyway since that may be an implementation detail and since I don't know if
changing the exec server to stop looking at $PATH if the file doesn't contain
an slash will break other stuff, changing execve() as you propose sounds like
a good idea.
Another similar option is to prepend . to $PATH in that case (and then the
exec server will prepend ./ to the file).
I'm going to prepare and test a patch for one of the two options.
