I recently put together just such a thing for arm. This set of binaries
is enough to build everything else:
arm - sys sys
init - sys sys
bin - sys sys
mk - sys sys
rm - sys sys
echo - sys sys
5c - sys sys
5l - sys sys
5a - sys sys
lex - sys sys
yacc - sys sys
ar - sys sys
test - sys sys
rc - sys sys
mntgen - sys sys
bind - sys sys
ls - sys sys
disk - sys sys
fdisk - sys sys
prep - sys sys
grep - sys sys
read - sys sys
ndb - sys sys
cs - sys sys
dns - sys sys
ip - sys sys
ipconfig - sys sys
aux - sys sys
timesync - sys sys
chmod - sys sys
cat - sys sys
ps - sys sys
awk - sys sys
sed - sys sys
date - sys sys
awd - sys sys
cp - sys sys
tr - sys sys
pcc - sys sys
cpp - sys sys
mv - sys sys
