The best I can do is to report that several Debian users have come
across this kind of problem. For example, someone asked: "Why is it so
bad to have /usr/sbin in PATH?" The answer given in the forums was
"Because sbin contains programs and scripts only executable by root".
Debian used to support gksu to get root access from a virtual terminal,
but that is dropped in Buster.
Anyway, sudo -s is useful to know!

I do not think I have modified $PATH from system settings:

~$ echo $PATH
/usr/local/bin:/usr/bin:/bin:/usr/local/games:/usr/games

Your "whereis" puts ldconfig in /sbin/ but thats not in your PATH,
thats the problem. I don't use debian, so I don't know why your PATH
is so limited. By default my Mint has:
/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/sbin:/bin:/usr/games:/usr/local/games:/snap/bin

As far as I know, nothing special. But in Debian Buster:
---------------------------------------------------------
~$ whereis ldconfig
ldconfig: /sbin/ldconfig /usr/share/man/man8/ldconfig.8.gz
---------------------------------------------------------
The error message I got was:
---------------------------------------------------------
/home# make install
...
/bin/bash: line 3: ldconfig: command not found
make[4]: *** [Makefile:1660: fix-ubuntu-libdir] Error 127

6. ~$ sudo make install
On Debian that failed because of path problems locating ldconfig.
This is unexpected for me. Running Debian for >10 years now and never
seen that need before. Do you have any special sh-configuration?
