The `path' command only adds the path to the inferior's environment.
Is it also supposed to add the path to gdb's environment?
From gdb.texinfo:
@table @code
@kindex path
@item path @var{directory}
Add @var{directory} to the front of the @code{PATH} environment variable
(the search path for executables), for both @value{GDBN} and your program.
You may specify several directory names, separated by whitespace or by a
system-dependent separator character (@samp{:} on Unix, @samp{;} on
MS-DOS and MS-Windows). If @var{directory} is already in the path, it
is moved to the front, so it is searched sooner.

No, not anymore. This used to be that way, but was changed with these
changes:
Tue Mar 15 10:33:28 1994 Jim Kingdon (kingdon@lioth.cygnus.com)
* environ.c (set_in_environ): Eliminate special handling of PATH and
GNUTARGET.
Unfortunately, it seems gdb.texinfo was not updated accordingly...
