Not from Sun.

You will, in all likelihood have to build those yourself.

I'm not sure that I've ever tried it but you can try seeing if the
"--disable-utils" configure flag will be honoured by "make rpms".  I
tend to doubt it though and make rpms will build the utils RPM as well.

Adding a --without utils rpm build option to the spec would be trivial.
Patches will be happily accepted.  :-)
