In GNU Emacs 19.27.1 (sparc-sun-sunos4.1.3, X toolkit) of Sun Sep 18 1994 on cthulhu

Listed below are the contents of my exec-directory.  I have verified
by looking at emacs' .el files and the output of 'strings emacs' that
the following are never used once emacs is built:

digest-doc
make-docfile
make-path
sorted-doc
test-distrib
yow		(maybe should be installed in $prefix/bin?)

Is there any reason why those binaries have to be installed, if they
are never used?

Also, why are these binaries built statically?
