The culprit is in the source code of util-linux-2.25.2/sys-utils/eject.c:
681: execl("/bin/umount", "/bin/umount", name, "-n", NULL);
683: execl("/bin/umount", "/bin/umount", name, NULL);
685: errx(EXIT_FAILURE, _("unable to exec /bin/umount of `%s'"),
name);
This should be easy to patch, but there are other utilities with the same
problem. A hopeless case seems to be "whereis": It looks for files in fixed
lists of locations such as
static const char *bindirs[] = {
"/usr/bin",
"/usr/sbin",
"/usr/lib",
"/usr/lib64",
"/bin",
"/sbin",
"/etc",
"/usr/etc",
"/lib",
"/lib64",
"/usr/games",
"/usr/games/bin",
"/usr/games/lib",
"/usr/emacs/etc",
"/usr/lib/emacs/*/etc",
"/usr/TeX/bin",
...
