If the PATH initially contains host/bin, then the right date
executable is to be found after the *first* occurrence of fakedate in
normal (forward) PATH order. Fix the wrapper so that that first
occurrence is found indeed.

Just to be clear: the problem is that if you do
PATH=$PATH:$PWD/output/host/bin make
that it doesn't find the real date program, right?

Although this works, wouldn't it be simpler to throw away the tac invocation
and instead just take the first one after ourselves? I.e., something like:
found=false
for date in $(which -a date); do
if [ "${date}" -ef "$@" ]; then
found=true
elif [ "$found" = true ]; then
DATE_BIN="${date}"
fi
done
(as usual, untested).
Yann? Remember what was the reason for the tac?

This is very not nice to do sto, indeed... :-(
Unless this is again this SDK thing that is bitting us back?

You can simplify the elif test with (after all, that's the whole point
of using false/true instead of 0/1):
elif ${found}; then

And then, you can break the loop because we did find it.

This is usually what I would have suggested... However, see below...
> (as usual, untested).
> Yann? Remember what was the reason for the tac?
0fe536b797c (package/fakedate: avoid recursion if not first in the PATH)
I used tac because it avoided using an intermediate variable like you
suggest above, with "found=true":
We fix that by iterating, in reverse order, over all the 'date' we can
find in PATH, and when we find ourselves, then we know the one we found
in the iteration just before is the one that we should call.
This was a hack, and in restrospect, not that smart as it seemed to be...
So this means that we now have the reverse problem: we recurse if we are
also the last...
Your (Arnout's) solution is the best I can think of: it is obvious,
straightforward, and it is not trying to be smart, so I like it.
Ignacy, when you respin with Arnout's proposal, do not forget to add a
line like that to your commit log, please:
Fixes: 0fe536b797cc0ae11bd54ed7046cd39b73780c18

In a nutshell, I have host/bin appended to my PATH because I often use
the buildroot-built cross-compiler chain.

The problem with this version is that it won't choose the first
non-fakedate date following fakedate in the PATH, but the last.
Moveover, if, for any reason, fakedate is not in the PATH, it won't
find any date.
This is mostly why I kept the reverse iteration, to find the first
non-fakedate date that follows the first fakedate in the PATH, and to
fall back on the first date in the PATH if fakedate is not found at
all.

Ignacy

After discussing this with Arnout and Thomas, we concluded that Arnout's
proposal, with my ltile amendment, was the proper solution. Except that
the loop had to be broken on first hit, of course, so I added the proper
break.
I also added a test that we actually did find a date executable.
Of course, if we missed something, then feel free to yel back! ;-)
Applied to master, thanks.

With this code, fakedate is not usable without having its path in
PATH. If that will never be a problem, then I have no reason to yell. =)
