Yes, but be careful with cpp - it is used by xrdb and maybe others.
Also, maybe it is a good idea to move compiler backend out of cc1,
cc1plus and cc1obj into something like libbackend.so ? pro: space saving
can be considerable, especially with upcoming g77. contra: backend must
be compiled position-independent.

mountd, nfsd, nfsiod - why are they linked static and live in /sbin ?
Is anyone expected to export filesystem before mounting /usr?
Do anyone care about nfs performance before mounting /usr?
Same for /sbin/dmesg /sbin/ipfw /sbin/nologin. Same for a lot of programs
in /bin.
