How did you launch GNU Emacs with -q or -Q? Did you use the same method as is 
used for the GNU Emacs with faulty exec-path? It is rather clear that you need 
to use the same method when you're not able to determine how this method 
actually works and is possible having some potential influence on exec-path, 
because launching "emacs" or "emacs -q" or "emacs -Q" from some shell is likely 
to produce a GNU Emacs with correct exec-path.

If you think that your init file is changing exec-path, then search for the 
string "exec-path" in that file with GNU Emacs' isearch! And then make those 
statements comments with a comment why they are now comments!
