...but they depend on a slew of *other* things, like a POSIX shell and 
many POSIX tools. And IIRC I've run into problems when those weren't the 
/GNU/ versions thereof.

There's a lot to be said for /one/ tool that - while, granted, it needs 
to be installed - not only allows you to build, but also do full 
development without having to hunt down some precise version thereof, 
have several versions installed at once, etc.
