The call to spawn clears the environment, including PATH.  This means
that an env in a non-default location wouldn't be found, while all the
other tests work because they use PATH.  We can fix this by looking up
which PATH to use beforehand.

I ran into this when packaging public-inbox for Nixpkgs.  We build in
a chroot, and in this case the env I wanted to use was at
/nix/store/7rmjki86923bw1inx0czpp4wgy0kk687-coreutils-8.31/bin/env.
