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