All the tools like ls, chmod, cp, rm, mv etc. are part of the Fileutils
package at gnu.org. Here's the url for the information:

http://www.gnu.org/software/fileutils/fileutils.html

You can download the fileutils package from ftp.gnu.org. It's in the
directory /gnu/fileutils. Download fileutils-4.1.tar.gz, tar zxvf
fileutils-4.1.tar.gz, ./configure, make and voila, new copy of "ls" (and a
few other things).
Be sure to read the README and INSTALL files.
