Yes, in 3.0.2p1 it causes USER_PATH to be defined in config.h.  However,
it's not used in any of the code.

The old behavior, e.g. 1.2.3, when USER_PATH was defined, it caused
_PATH_STDPATH to be defined (in config.h).  This in turn was used by
sshd.c in a call to child_set_env(...) to set it in the environment.
That code isn't there any longer.

More important, it looks like sshd forks off a user's shell to execute the
scp command, so now we are stuck with the system default settings for PATH,
and as you point out, what the user's local initialization code does.
So even if --with-default-path did work, it would be overridden, making the
advice of the FAQ not very helpful.
