Not finding Linux linker tool

Description

On Linux, I type in: 

build foo.d

and get this error: 

Error: build:Cannot find application '/home/john/bin/gcc' to run

It shouldn't be looking in my local shell path. Or, I should say, build shouldn't be looking only in my local shell path. It should be looking in the system path.

If I type gcc on the command line, gcc is completely accessible... just not through build.

It was forming the canonical name for the file name as supplied before trying to see if it was in the PATH list. The tool now scans the PATH list if a relative file name is supplied.
