From the release notes...
R54 is a bugfix release with moderate new features:
[tg] Simplify and improve code and manual page
[tg] Try GCC 5’s new -malign-data=abi
[tg] Allow interrupting builtin cat even on fast devices (LP#1616692)
[tg] Update to Unicode 9.0.0
[Andreas Buschka] Correct English spelling
[tg] Handle set -e-related error propagation in || and && constructs correctly
[tg] Initialise memory for RNG even when not targeting Valgrind
[tg] Shrink binary size
[Brian Callahan] Improve support for the contemporary pcc compiler
[tg] Fix side effects with lazy evaluation; spotted by ormaaj
[tg] New flags -c (columnise), -l, -N for the print builtin
[Larry Hynes] Fix English, spelling mistakes, typos in the manpage
[tg, ormaah] Return 128+SIGALRM if read -t times out, like GNU bash
[Martijn Dekker] Install both manpages from Build.sh
[Martijn Dekker] Document case changes are ASCII-only
[Ronald G. Minnich, Elbing Miss, Álvaro Jurado, tg] Begin porting to Harvey-OS and APEX (similar to Plan 9 and APE)
[KO Myung-Hun] More infrastructure for the OS/2 (EMX, KLIBC) port
I've continued to disable the cat, realpath, and sleep builtins,
and added print to the list (now I've realized it's unrelated to
the print on the desktop).

They're buggy and/or lacking in functionality. Disable them and use toybox
instead.

Note that we skipped R52c because it wouldn't build with clang (thanks to
the "Shave 200 bytes off .text by revisiting string pooling" change).

We also don't need to export variables we inherited --- they're
automatically exported.
Bug: http://b/19635681
Change-Id: Ie8e8480e7487ddc0fb9e984235b8b5ea0c587686
hd was only usable from interactive shells. xxd is more functional and usable
from interactive and non-interactive shells.
Change-Id: I294acea221e20ca46b6bc7e8e34906bd5d1b6dad
Needed to make various command-line tools work out of the box, since we
don't have /tmp, which is what they'd naturally fall back to.

gtest won't color its output unless TERM is an xterm, and that seems as
reasonable a default as vt100. More reasonable, in fact. This only fixes
things for login shells, so we still need to fix adb to pass $TERM
through to make yabinc happy...
We can get a better more(1) from toybox, and the aliases seem inappropriate.
