Read the man page 'bash(1)'.  /etc/profile (the file) is a bashism,
not a distroism.  Unless they compiled it differently...

     ``When  bash is invoked as an interactive login shell, or as
       a non-interactive shell with the --login option, it  first
       reads and executes commands from the file /etc/profile, if
       that file exists.  After reading that file, it  looks  for
       ~/.bash_profile,  ~/.bash_login,  and  ~/.profile, in that
       order, and reads and executes commands from the first  one
       that  exists  and is readable.  The --noprofile option may
       be  used  when  the  shell  is  started  to  inhibit  this
       behavior.''
