Cut is certainly one of the GNU stable of tools, and it can be chained
using the pipe command, but it's not generally known as being part of the
tool chain, like Binutils, GCC, and Glibc.  Also, cut is definitely part of
the Coreutils package without assuming anything to do with Debian.  As the
name suggests, it is part of the core utilities of the operating system.
