Isn't this what PATH shell variables are for? The problem is that we have a hard-coded path, /usr/sbin/iasl, not that we need a config variable for the path. What should happen is that the hard-coded path should be replaced with a command name.
I think so, too. It is also a purely build environment related thing, which is imho not really a "configuration issue" but an "environment issue"
I don't think we should add a new variable for something that should be in the user's path. I don't think we need this patch.
Which distributions do pack iasl to /usr/sbin btw? I know SUSE does. Though I do not understand why. It is a development tool, and making that available to root's default path sounds wrong, nobody ought to develop as root.
