Please do. Pull recent commits from Emacs git, recompile Emacs, and run
"emacs -Q" as explained. Send the debug buffer when it fails.

In my environment, it runs smoothly. So we have a chance to
see what's the difference.

Looks good. I would take "/data/data/com.termux/files/usr/bin" (no
trailing slash), but this is a minor difference which shouldn't count.

With this, you don't need my proposed tramp-remote-path hack, I
assume. But somehow, in the debug buffer you've sent recently, just
"/sbin" was selected for the PATH, and I don't know why.

Best regards, Michael.
