   Does the OP use bash?

I should have checked better.  When bash is invoked as sh, it indeed
does not check ./ if nothing else worked.  With CDPATH=~/src, I get
the same errors as the OP when doing make bootstrap.  The Makefile
uses /bin/sh.  (Which shell the user uses is irrelevant, because bash
does not _really_ add a colon to the end of CDPATH.  It just gets the
same behavior by checking the current directory if nothing else worked.)

Sincerely,

Luc.
