Variations all resulted in the last argument being the full path
to the executable. And I've seen variations, so something like is
appropriate.

``#!/usr/bin/env perl'' works in most cases.

For the gcc, ld and strip you can use CC ?= cc, etc. since in that
case the path does resolve the binary name.

Indeed, that is also a solution.

Thanks for helping us poor non-bash users :-)
