There are pieces of code like
AC_CHECK_PROG(XSLTPROGRAM, xsltproc, xsltproc, "no",
                "/bin:/usr/bin:/usr/local/bin")

I don't think the additional path is usefull, it is even harmfull in case
the user a special PATH or avoid some directories in the PATH. 

(when the command is a root command then the additionnal path is very 
usefull, like in 
AC_CHECK_PROG(USE_IFUPDOWN, ifup, 1, 0, "/sbin:/usr/sbin:/usr/local/sbin")
).

line 306
        if test $USE_IFUPDOWN == 1 ; then
                if ! test -d /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts ; then
                        USE_IFUPDOWN=0
                fi
        fi
