Could you send me your .config? I can check in a "make macos_defconfig".

If you get the urge for specific commands out of there, lemme know. I just
finished redoing test.c and I'm squinting at tftpd.c now (using a dhcp/bootp
thing at $DAYJOB)...

I'm aware android's building bc, dd, diff, expr, getfattr, gzip, lsof, modprobe,
more, stty, tar, tr, and traceroute. But most of that isn't low hanging fruit
for cleanup. Although I'm close on the compression side of gzip, and since
watch.c I think I know how to tackle less/more now (although I need to go _back_
to watch and add ansi color support, which I also need to do in grep although
_that's_ a genericiation of the -o logic), and getfattr _would_ be low hanging
fruit if I had any sort of test case for it (what files on ubuntu normally have
xattrs I can examine?) Last time I tried to tackle expr. I spent all the
time/energy I had reading a chunk of that pdf on the precedence climbing thing
and the window got buried and my machine eventually rebooted...

Mostly when I look at pending it's ls -lS toys/pending, but vi.c is a stub,
groupdel is part of the userdel/useradd/groupadd cluster, getfattr.c I haven't
got any real test cases for (what on ubuntu has attributes I can look at?),
ipcrm I've never really used (and it's in suite with ipcs, need to read up on
both), and that brings us to fold which is basically "not fmt".

Chipping away at it as I can...
