Interesting. At one tine, Slackware Linux would not recompile binaries unless the program was patched. So there was a time you could find rather old binaries on Slackware, and maybe still on other distros. I wonder what the oldest unchanged source/program running on Linux or BSD ? My vote goes to cat(1) :) | ||

FreeBSD /bin/cat has lots of recent changes of substance: https://github.com/freebsd/freebsd-src/commits/main/bin/cat/... Otoh, /usr/bin/true has only minor changes since initial import (1994) https://github.com/freebsd/freebsd-src/commits/main/usr.bin/... /usr/bin/false is similar | ||
