I've been trying to find source and makefiles for various unix programs 
such as compress, awk, sed and tar.

I want the source so that I can recompile with DJGPP V2 and (ab)use long 
file names.

However, I have found that the sources I locate are either incorrect or 
have a makefile that invokes, say, awk, sed and tar.

In the case of DJGPP, sed118 has a makefile that uses ln and tar and, 
perhaps, others.

This is a chicken and egg problem.

Are there makefiles that do not rely on other programs?
