Przemyslaw Pawelczyk 8e0b38060d fix execvp failing on not-dir entries in PATH.
It's better to make execvp continue PATH search on ENOTDIR rather than
issuing an error. Bogus entries should not render rest of PATH invalid.

Maintainer's note: POSIX seems to require the search to continue like
this as part of XBD 8.3 Other Environment Variables. Only errors that
conclusively determine non-existence are candidates for continuing;
otherwise for consistency we have to report the error.

    musl libc

musl, pronounced like the word "mussel", is an MIT-licensed
implementation of the standard C library targetting the Linux syscall
API, suitable for use in a wide range of deployment environments. musl
offers efficient static and dynamic linking support, lightweight code
and low runtime overhead, strong fail-safe guarantees under correct
usage, and correctness in the sense of standards conformance and
safety. musl is built on the principle that these goals are best
achieved through simple code that is easy to understand and maintain.

The 1.1 release series for musl features coverage for all interfaces
defined in ISO C99 and POSIX 2008 base, along with a number of
non-standardized interfaces for compatibility with Linux, BSD, and
glibc functionality.

For basic installation instructions, see the included INSTALL file.
Information on full musl-targeted compiler toolchains, system
bootstrapping, and Linux distributions built on musl can be found on
the project website:
