-<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
-<envar>DEFAULT_POSIX2_VERSION</envar> environment variable to
-<quote>199209</quote> in the above command. If you do not want
-Coreutils to be backwards compatible with the traditional syntax, then
-omit setting the <envar>DEFAULT_POSIX2_VERSION</envar>
-environment variable. It is important to remember that doing so will
-have consequences, including the need to patch the many packages that
-still use the old syntax. Therefore, it is recommended that the
-instructions be followed exactly as given above.</para>
