I remember building the gnu core tools on sun os and solaris boxes. I had a license to the compiler from sun, then I would get GNU compiler going, then I'd get the whole GNUniverse going.
The GNU build/install process let you set a prefix, so it was customary to specify `g` get prefixed, so `gmore` and `gcd` etc. if you were afraid of breaking old user scripts that used the sun versions.
The build for this looks pretty simple. I cloned the source, ran "make". I got some XML errors about docbook, but it did create a `sponge`
otool -L sponge
sponge:
/usr/lib/libSystem.B.dylib (compatibility version 1.0.0, current version 1281.100.1)
looks like one could copy it to `~/bin/`
