Thanks -- and including coreutils, I guess? Or are there other workarounds or solutions to your problem than this fix? I brought this up on the gnulib list: https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-gnulib/2021-11/msg00029.html If gnulib has a syntax-check rule for this problem, it will get fixed in many more upstream projects indirectly. I'm a bit concerned that there may be disagreement that your suggestion actually is the best recommended general solution to the problem, but we'll see what the response is. /Simon
