Ugh. This sounds way too much like /usr/ucb/cc when the compiler was no longer in SunOS (at least Solaris 2.4 - 9). Or like patch(1) in HP-UX 9ish. I have a severe disliking for things that are in a reasonable $PATH that say "this command is broken". It is even worse if the exit code for such a command is ever 0.
