All the GNU and X11 stuff was under contrib in 4.4-lite. This included

was also included. The build system by default included gawk though...

So around same time GNU project didn't
publish some the most common
tools, but soon did. I didn't check, but I am pretty sure these are all
different code than the rewritten BSD code. Duplicated work.
ISTR that the smaller utils were duplicated. 4.4BSD shipped gawk instead
of original Unix awk, and used GCC (and I guess the binutils) as the
compiler suite. So some GNU stuff was used.
