That covers the bootstrap prereqs. If you are starting from a release
tarball, the installation prereqs are much smaller; basically, you only
need the bare minimum of tools specified in the GNU Coding Standards:

| The configure script and the Makefile rules for building and
| installation should not use any utilities directly except these:
|
| awk cat cmp cp diff echo egrep expr false grep install-info
| ln ls mkdir mv pwd rm rmdir sed sleep sort tar test touch tr true
http://www.gnu.org/software/automake/manual/standards.html#Install-Command-Categories
| Pre-installation and post-installation commands should not run any
| programs except for these:
|
| [ basename bash cat chgrp chmod chown cmp cp dd diff echo
| egrep expand expr false fgrep find getopt grep gunzip gzip
| hostname install install-info kill ldconfig ln ls md5sum
| mkdir mkfifo mknod mv printenv pwd rm rmdir sed sort tee
| test touch true uname xargs yes
(of which many of them can in fact provided by the just-built coreutils)
