Possibly, but I'm just doing a preliminary build.  Looking at

openjdk.build-boot/impsrc/common/shared/Defs-linux.gmk

it appears that this can be adjusted with setting some environment 
variables, e.g. ALT_UNIXCOMMAND_PATH= and ALT_USRBIN_PATH=

But using those seems to upset the build in other places.  So far, the 
problem seems to be limited to head, touch, and find.
