<title>Installation of Sh-utils</title>
+<para>Before Sh-utils is installed, the sh-utils patch file may need to be
+applied. This patch is needed to avoid a conflict of variable names with
+certain Glibc versions (usually glibc-2.1.x) when compiling sh-utils
+statically. It is however safe to apply the patch even if you are running
+a different glibc version, so if you aren't sure, it's best to apply
+it.</para>
