DJGPP solves this thusly:

  /* If INTERP is a Unix-style pathname, like "/bin/sh", we will try
     it with the usual extensions and, if that fails, will further
     search for the basename of the shell along the PATH; this
     allows to run Unix shell scripts without editing their first line.  */
