[issue8453] build_installer.py breaks bzip compilation

[Ronald Oussoren]

Ronald Oussoren <ronaldoussoren at mac.com> added the comment:

r80232 explicitly sets $PATH to the system default one, which hopefully fixes the issue.

What would be interesting to know is which shell is the user shell on the buildbot. The original patch worked for me because my shell is bash and bash sets a default $PATH when it doesn't have one on startup, other shells might not be as friendly as that.

That default value contains unwanted locations though (in particular /usr/local and /usr/gnu), which is why r80232 is a good idea anyway.
