That's it!  I have /bin/sh but not /usr/bin/env.  Adding /usr/bin/env
fixes the problem for me.

It would be good to eliminate that dependency.  If webkitgtk is using
/usr/bin/env from within its sandbox, that's worrisome.  I want it using
software components determined at build time.  I do *not* want it
searching in PATH for things.

To be continued...
