ITYM installworld.  From Makefile.inc1:

<quote>
installworld:
        mkdir -p ${INSTALLTMP}
        for prog in [ awk cat chflags chmod chown date echo egrep find grep \
            install ln make makewhatis mtree mv perl rm sed sh sysctl \
            test true uname wc zic; do \
                cp `which $$prog` ${INSTALLTMP}; \
        done
</quote>

(${INSTALLTMP} is set earlier to /tmp/install.<pid>)

I suppose it's possible that buildworld does something similar, but
then why would installworld re-do it?
