41          <para>This package has an issue when compiled against versions of
42          Glibc later than 2.3.2. Some of the Coreutils utilities (such as
43          <command>head</command>, <command>tail</command>, and
44          <command>sort</command>) will reject their traditional syntax, a
45          syntax that has been in use for approximately 30 years. This old
46          syntax is so pervasive that compatibility should be preserved until
47          the many places where it is used can be updated. Backwards compatibility
48          is achieved by setting the <envar>DEFAULT_POSIX2_VERSION</envar>
49          environment variable to <quote>199209</quote> in the above command.
50          If you do not want Coreutils to be backwards compatible with the
51          traditional syntax, then omit setting the
52          <envar>DEFAULT_POSIX2_VERSION</envar> environment variable. It is
53          important to remember that doing so will have consequences, including
54          the need to patch the many packages that still use the old syntax.
55          Therefore, it is recommended that the instructions be followed exactly
56          as given above.</para>
