I believe so. After modifying PATH, command -v returns:
Solaris tools:
sed: /usr/gnu/bin/sed
awk: /usr/gnu/bin/awk
grep: /usr/gnu/bin/grep
(This was added to my scripts to confirm).
Maybe Git would benefit from SED, AWK and GREP variables like PERL.

Send over your authorized_keys. You will connect with:
esunshine@151.196.22.177 -p 1523
I'm in a dynamic IP address block. You will have to ping me on
occasion to get the updated IP address.
Some other machines you may be interested in:
* PowerMac G5, PPC big-endian with OS X 10.5 (port 1522)
* MacBook late 2012, x86_64 with OS X 10.9 (port 1524)
* Intel Goldmont with SHA extensions (port 1526)
Andy Polyakov uses the PowerMac for tuning his ASM used in OpenSSL.
If you want to speedup SHA-1 (re: unaligned accesses) then try the
Goldmont machine. SHA-1 runs at 1.8 cycles per byte on Goldmont.
