[Bug other/15213] New: Coreutils POSIX2_VERSION as 200112L

["giffordj at linkline dot com" <gcc-bugzilla at gcc dot gnu dot org>]

This patch makes gcc compliant with posix. It will fail to install with
the current version of coreutils. GCC is being ISO correct, why can't it be 
POSIX correct.

Reference Bugzilla #14251. This problem still exists and is not invalid. There 
was a suggestion made to use autoconf to fix the problem. The current SUS 
states the -n 1 is valid and I hope GCC will approve the patch or come up with 
a autoconf fix for this issue. Some of the newer distros, the -1 does not 
work!.
