Yups. Shell scripts are not linux-programs :-)

Put /usr/compat/linux/bin as first line in your PATH and this should
solve it. Same for /usr/compat/linux/sbin, usr/bin etc.

[~] edwin@k7>export PATH=/usr/compat/linux/bin:$PATH
[~] edwin@k7>uname -a
Linux k7.mavetju.org 2.2.12 FreeBSD 4.2-RELEASE #7: Sun Aug 19 21:49:05 EST 2001
    edwin@k i386 unknown
[~] edwin@k7>uname -r
2.2.12
