I think grep.c, xargs.c, tr.c and od.c should be moved to libcmd/. We've done extensive testing, with help and binaries from Roland Mainz and Olga Kryzhanovska and we didn't hit any problems in the noninteractive usage. The interactive usage hit issues, but only in the job control parts of the shell. The latest round of Solaris binaries Olga send around fixed that, too. I'd say: Go, but only enable them in /opt/ast (linux) and /usr/ast (Solaris). I say that because we cannot cover more ground on our side (GE Healthcare [not speaking for my employer, just saying we stress tested grep/od/tr/xargs in a production environment!!]) and the only way to get more coverage is to find more users.
