62 <listitem>
63 <para>This package has an issue when compiled against versions of
64 Glibc later than 2.3.2. Some of the Coreutils utilities (such as
65 <command>head</command>, <command>tail</command>, and
66 <command>sort</command>) will reject their traditional syntax, a
67 syntax that has been in use for approximately 30 years. This old
68 syntax is so pervasive that compatibility should be preserved until
69 the many places where it is used can be updated. Backwards compatibility
70 is achieved by setting the <envar>DEFAULT_POSIX2_VERSION</envar>
71 environment variable to <quote>199209</quote> in the above command.
72 If you do not want Coreutils to be backwards compatible with the
73 traditional syntax, then omit setting the
74 <envar>DEFAULT_POSIX2_VERSION</envar> environment variable. It is
75 important to remember that doing so will have consequences, including
76 the need to patch the many packages that still use the old syntax.
77 Therefore, it is recommended that the instructions be followed exactly
78 as given above.</para>
