I didn't read src/contrib/gnu-sort/lib/posixver.c carefully enough to
notice that it uses the the _POSIX2_VERSION macro, I thought it only used
the environment variable by that same name.

A workaround might be to #undef _POSIX2_VERSION after #include'ing <unistd.h>
in posixver.c but I don't think that would be correct. It's probably better
to either change all the scripts that use the obsolescent +pos -pos syntax
to use the new -k syntax or to change _POSIX2_VERSION back to whatever it
was before. I think the second is more realistic.
