-<para>This package has an issue when compiled against versions of Glibc
-later than 2.3.2. Some of the Coreutils utilities (such as
-<command>head</command>, <command>tail</command> and <command>sort</command>)
-will reject their traditional syntax, a syntax that has been in use for
-approximately 30 years. This old syntax is so pervasive that compatibility
-should be preserved until the many places where it is used can be
-updated. Backwards compatibility is achieved by setting the
-DEFAULT_POSIX2_VERSION environment variable to <quote>199209</quote> in the above
-command. If you don't want coreutils to be backwards compatible
-with the traditional syntax, then simply omit setting the DEFAULT_POSIX2_VERSION
-environment variable. Realise though, that doing so will mean you'll have
-to deal with the consequences yourself: patch the many packages that still use
-the old syntax. We therefore recommend using the instructions exactly as given
-above.</para>
