Yes, can do. See attachment. But where should we stop? od is part of the coreutils. The key part here is "core". Should I also make build fail if dd is not available? Or sed? Or grep? Or cp? mv? rm? cat? mkdir? Can you imagine how ugly the scripts would look which check for every one of these programs? -- vda
