Yes, it should.  I've been closing my eyes to this problem for a while but
this is the second time it's been reported in the span of a week (the other
time was over in the crossgcc mailing list).

There were several problems with the handling of PATH and other special
environment variables.  I hope I have fixed all of them in CVS.  A new
snapshot is being generated now.
