If I remember correctly, we looked into them in 2023, but they use errno and other constants in weird ways and rely on them being preprocessor defines. Cosmopolitan, however, needs to have them change at runtime depending on the platform. Then, we found that the regular versions of the same tools could be built with less modification, so we went with them instead. Our version of GCC does try to fix constant usage, so perhaps there is a chance now? |

I love the idea behind Cosmopolitans executable: compile once and run everywhere!
By the way, why do not include busybox? I mean, in a certain configuration of its makefile can replace a HUGE amount of executables. So, it an idea candidate to belong within the Cosmopolitan archive of executables.
Then I got in mind that Android uses toybox because licensing issues:
So, I got a look to that project toybox and I found that it is available a repository of static binaries:
Also considering that this project (toybox) has been adopted by Android, I think that it would be nice to have among cosmos binaries.
I hope this helps, R-
