Or how about loop whole path like whereis/which command? I want to cover also
these "strange systems" (Android and embedded).

I wonder if to use this all the time (e.g. in safe_run_cmd(), because solution
in tst_run_cmd_fds_() (errno == ENOENT) works most of the time. Maybe changing
exit code 255 to something less common (e.g. INT_MAX - 5).
Do you want to use tst_cmd_available() also  not only as API

Kind regards,
Petr
