PATH="/home/PHOENIX/frey/OE/build/tmp/sysroots/x86_64-linux/usr/armv7a/bin:/home/PHOENIX/frey/OE/build/tmp/sysroots/x86_64-linux/usr/sbin:/home/PHOENIX/frey/OE/build/tmp/sysroots/x86_64-linux/usr/bin:/home/PHOENIX/frey/OE/build/tmp/sysroots/x86_64-linux/sbin:/home/PHOENIX/frey/OE/build/tmp/sysroots/x86_64-linux//bin:/home/PHOENIX/frey/OE/bitbake/bin:/opt/bin:/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/sbin:/bin:/usr/games"


Which looks like it ought to be right... if that PATH is truly in effect,
then /home/PHOENIX/frey/OE/build/tmp/sysroots/x86_64-linux/usr/bin/automake
ought to be found before /usr/bin/automake.
