For example, I'm working on a new cpio now, Kai Wang is working on binutils, and I'm sure there are other projects in the works. I agree with other folks who have picked out GNU readline as probably the most troublesome. The other GPL-licensed tools are generally separate applications that could be fairly easily dropped from any particular application (embedded applications probably don't need to distribute gdb or gcc, for instance).
