Hey, I'm all for that.  But then again I still think BINDIR should be
/usr/gnu/bin in src/gnu/usr.bin/Makefile.inc, etc.

It wouldn't hurt us to provide more and more compatible versions of various
utilities in the base system, where we cannot provide a compatible version
inside an existing implementation, especially where standards become an issue.
