    Include a script in scripts/kwhich that tells you the path to
    a certain binary.

    Below is a simple implementation. If you condense it you can
    even include it in the Makefile verbatim, though a seperate script
    seems cleaner to me.

    % ./kwhich unknowncc gcc272 gcc cc
    /usr/bin/gcc272

    #! /bin/sh

    # kwhich 1.0 (C) 2000 Miquel van Smoorenburg
    # This program is GPLed

    if [ $# -lt 1 ]
    then
            echo "Usage: $0 cmd [cmd..]" >&2
            exit 1
    fi

    IFS=:
    for cmd in $*
    do
            for path in $PATH
            do
                    if [ -x "$path/$cmd" ]
                    then
                            echo "$path/$cmd"
                            exit 0
                    fi
            done
    done

    echo "$*: not found" >&2
    exit 1
