There was a discussion about this a few years ago on comp.unix.shell.

Ah, I see, the starting point was actually the reverse assumption
that all systems had /bin/env.  Somebody mentioned /sbin/env on

in addition to it.

Of course I can always handwave in the direction of those hundreds
of Linux distributions...
