I have stripped gnu-utils to be what it was meant to be.
Having X stuff + fonts was causing much grief and seemingly needed by gtk2, which we now have newer Gtk2 extensions.
Code Sample
Title:          gnu-utils.dsl
Description:    GNU Core Utilities - Busybox Replacement
Version:        5.2
Author:         GNU <bug [dash] coreutils [at] gnu [dot] org>
Original-site:  http://www.gnu.org/home
Copying-policy: GPL
-----==[  Color = blue     Filesize:   1.18M  ]==-----
Extension by:   robert[at]damnsmalllinux[dot]org
Comments:       The GNU Core Utilities are the basic file, shell,
               and text manipulation utilities of the GNU operating system.
Change-log:    
               05/28/2004 - First version
               07/16/2004 - Revised and Removed Base Directories

               2008/04/30 - Removed mount & umount
               2008/05/05 - Moved X & gconv stuff into gnu-Xfonts+gconv.dsl

The stripped out part is available as:
Code Sample
Title:          gnu-Xfonts+gconv.dsl
Description:    GNU Xfonts and tools for GTK2
Version:        5.2
Author:         GNU <bug [dash] coreutils [at] gnu [dot] org>
Original-site:  http://www.gnu.org/home

-----==[  Color = blue     Filesize:   7.8M  ]==-----

Comments:       Caution: Will overwrite X font directories.
               Was needed by Gtk2 extensions?

Wondering if mount utils etc have been removed?

These were not needed - those in dsl's base are GNU anyway, not Busybox, and having these in gnuutills was breaking my loop-aes extension (which updates mount, umount, losetup, swapon, swapoff  with patched gnu versions)  :(

Ah-ha, I'd never thought that gnu-utils could be replacing mount, umount, etc - perhaps this could explain in part why I had weird problems in compiling ntfsmount, etc... (the kernel version notwithstanding)

The issue of mount was brought up by jls. I removed them from gnu-utils see Site news topic for 4.3 and the change log for gnu-utils.dsl that I just posted here.
