     34<para>This package has an issue when compiled against versions of
     35Glibc later than 2.3.2. Some of the Coreutils utilities (such as
     36<command>head</command>, <command>tail</command>, and
     37<command>sort</command>) will reject their traditional syntax, a
     38syntax that has been in use for approximately 30 years. This old
     39syntax is so pervasive that compatibility should be preserved until
     40the many places where it is used can be updated. Backwards
     41compatibility is achieved by setting the
     42<envar>DEFAULT_POSIX2_VERSION</envar> environment variable to
     43<quote>199209</quote> in the above command. If you do not want
     44Coreutils to be backwards compatible with the traditional syntax, then
     45omit setting the <envar>DEFAULT_POSIX2_VERSION</envar>
     46environment variable. It is important to remember that doing so will
     47have consequences, including the need to patch the many packages that
     48still use the old syntax. Therefore, it is recommended that the
     49instructions be followed exactly as given above.</para>
