The Device Tree compiler (/usr/bin/dtc) seems to fall into a similar category.

As has already been mentioned, /usr/bin/config (and maybe it gets a new name while we're at it).

There's also the collection of elf2{ecoff,aout} tools that we have now that we no longer use objcopy for those tasks; they are used only for transmogrifying boot loaders and/or kernel binaries.
