In Modules/ld_so_aix there is `which $CC` to search for the full compiler's path. Unfortunately, /usr/bin/which on AIX is a csh-script and thus ~/.cshrc gets sourced before doing the path search. Now, when the user does set some PATH in ~/.cshrc, `which` might print a wrong path for the compiler, causing the build to fail (at best). It would be better to do the path search without launching an external program.
