Well, ln is not available :-) Ami has no links, yet. As for the rest:
sed comes with the system, gawk is completed except for the usual
fork()/exec() problem, same for tar. gzip and bzip2 should be
completed but cannot be used in tar because of the stream-flush-bug.
install is a script which will not work without a bourne shell,
cp is there and that's about it.
