In /etc/profile are these statements (they're the only path-related

I do not have a ~/.bash_login nor a ~/.profile. There are no 
path-related statements in my ~/.bashrc, and the only path-related 
statements in my ~/.bash_profile are these:

   

# set PATH so it includes user's private bin if it exists
if [ -d ~/bin ] ; then
  PATH=~/bin:"${PATH}"
fi
     

(Interestingly, I don't see an "export PATH".)
   

Did you look at /etc/bash.bashrc?
