Description

The exit code of which is not inline with the expectations of some ./autogen.sh and similar scripts.

Not quite fixed yet...

When running from the Terminal it appears to work as expected now, but not from inside a script:

cat test-which.sh: 

#!/bin/sh
which gcc || echo $?

which gcc || echo $?: 

/boot/develop/tools/gnupro/bin/gcc

./test-which.sh: 

./test-which.sh: line 2: which: command not found
