Hey, I perfectly understand if not. But do you have the sources that were used to build those binaries?

The oldest version on the GNU ftp server is fileutils-3.13 [1]. I vaguely remember having some links to older versions, probably somewhere in my archived mail. But I don't remember if it was fileutils-3.9 or earlier.

I co-maintain GNU coreutils, so I am interested in reading them. If you have them, you can email me privately or on the public mailing list. Both are listed on the homepage [2].

You can find ancient distros on archive.org and some of those have src.rpm's Slackware also had a source dvd with iirc regular tarballs.
