The sources for ls and chmod are in the GNU fileutil package. I have
identified three GNU packages: filetutil, textutil, and shellutil.
These may have linux patches. I have obtained and compiled textutils-1.3,
but not the others. There is a diff for shellutils, but I haven't obtained
the shellutils source yet. Tar is a source directory of it's own.
In addition there are some linux unique sources like fsck. (Which I understand
has been lost.)
Also, there are libraries, like the gcc libc source.
Maybe we can cooperate in getting a complete set of sources that compile
under linux.
