#7922: system() call does not launch aliases

Aliases defined using the alias command can not be run via a system()
call.
In the open office build system (OOo4Kids), a shell script define some
aliases. If i understand things correctly, those commands are intended to
be launch with a perl script (build.pl) that use system(). It does not
work under Haiku.
I can workaround the problem with symlinks.
I am not absolutely sure that Haiku should support this. Documents i have
found (only a google search) don't describe how system() should work in
this case. I don't have a linux box right now to confirm the behavior
under Linux. I will do the test next week.
The problem could be reproduced using this c program :
#include <unistd.h>
int main()
{
system("ll");
return 0;
}
ll is an alias for "ls -lA" defined by default under Haiku.
This program shows an error :
/bin/sh: ll: command not found
