The configuration step (see below) will test for these utilities and
will refuse to continue if any of them isn't found.
Recompiling Lisp files in the `lisp' subdirectory using the various
targets in the lisp/Makefile file requires additional utilities:
`find' (from Findutils), GNU `echo' and `test' (from Sh-utils), and a

Bootstrapping Emacs or recompiling Lisp files in the `lisp'
subdirectory using the various targets in the lisp/Makefile file
requires additional utilities: `find' (from Findutils), GNU `echo' and
