id.c, cat.c, and uniq.c aren't binaries so you're barking up the wrong tree. You're also assuming all the source code for
id resides in id.c and so forth, which isn't necessarily true, they may have other source files in common.
You might try 'cd src ; make id'

- where to find another packages that I can compile from source ? for example passwd command ?
Just as the 'id' utility doesn't reside in id-0.78-1.fc14.i686.tar.gz, not every individual program has its own tiny individual package. I think
passwd belongs to the
shadow password tools.
