Hi!

Thank you for getting  to the issue.  I'm not aware that there is such possibility in icedtea. Maybe gnu_andrew can say more. But currently I think they are not present.
Please, in case that you will add configure-ability for those basic commands into build scripts, can you push it to upstream (to us)?

Just from curiosity, which distro are you running in?

Best regards
