The old settings prefer / priorize our own tools over the GNU ones
because /usr/bin comes before /usr/gnu/bin.

When you look in make-rules for the definitions of PATH.gnu and
PATH.illumos then you will see that PATH.illumos
does something similar. It priorizes our tools over the GNU tools, but
nevertheless it also includes the GNU binaries path.
So I would expect that the right thing to do would be to use
PATH=$(PATH.illumos)
here.
