Limitations in basic development in Android

Being that most source code does
a check for binaries along the usual 
paths - or even an added path when 
 vi configure 
is used -the standard of busybox - for
older - and toybox - for newer -
-- versions --
of android do not work.
Also, there is no standard git or svn
client.
I am not looking for an app.
I actually need the static binaries which 
are found on a BSD or Linux system
on a desktop, laptop , or server.
There exists no freebsd tgz tarball
for me to use
as a reference.
I do not have a physical keyboard;
so, there are other limitations
including vi operands & keystrokes
along with switching ttys with
CTRL ALT F* combinations

The toybox/ busybox combinations
do not work with
editing or direct sh combinations
do not completely work.
If you have any doubts, try compiling
source code in such a limited environment
If I was able to find a way
of setting up such an environment
on this smartphone,
the tutorial would be on this blog
as well as other sites.
Thank you for reading this post.
