 Finally someone who is not lazy to implement it correctly :-)

 It's unnecessary to initialize global variables to 0 or NULL.

 it would be better to hide 'dirp = pathdir' to fillpath().

 add freepath()

                    ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
 We have ARRAY_SIZE() in c.h, or you can use the fact that arrays are
 terminated by zero.

 man getenv, you should not modify the result from getenv().

 here is bug, see below to gdb backtrace...

 ... this code expects that the array is terminated by zero.

Note that find() is called always for all dir lists.

Maybe it would be better to add lookpathenv() and call it from
print_again(). You can also add -p options to control this behavior.
See how {s,b,m}flags work.

BTW, the whole whereis code is horrible, for example find() is completely
unnecessary if there is also findv() and all lists of the directories are
static. It should be possible to use

  findv(ary, ARRAY_SIZE(ary), str);

everywhere instead of find(ary, str);
