Is unsetting POSIXLY_CORRECT before you build a workaround, then?

There have been a couple of questions from Red Hat customers who have found
this problem.  I was ignorant of the possible causes and so was unable to
reproduce it.  If this patch won't apply to redhat-980810, it would be 
nice to have one that does, regardless.  Otherwise we'll have random 
people's builds of the redhat release failing (which has already happened).

Thanks,
