build them yourself.

ftp://ftp.gnu.org/pub/gnu/fileutils/

static compilation (steps taken from LFS project)
  ./configure --prefix=/usr --disable-nls
  make -e LDFLAGS=-static
  make install

obviously you don't (probably) want to install to /usr, but you want to
have them around somewhere that doesn't require mounting another
partition/drive unless you have a static mount binary

glibc comes with sln, a statically linked symbolic linker.
