Port to hosts whose 'sort' and 'tail' implementations treat operands with leading '+' as file names...
Port to hosts whose 'sort' and 'tail' implementations treat operands with leading '+' as file names, as POSIX has required since 2001. However, make sure the code still works on pre-POSIX hosts. * ltmain.sh: Don't assume "sort +2" is equivalent to "sort -k 3", since POSIX 1003.1-2001 no longer requires this. contrib: * compare_tests: Don't assume "sort +2" is equivalent to "sort -k 3", since POSIX 1003.1-2001 no longer requires this. gcc: * Makefile.in (slowcompare): Port to POSIX 1003.1-2001, which says you should use "tail -c +N" rather than "tail +Nc". Fix a bug: the old code incorrectly skipped 15 bytes, not 16. From-SVN: r115234
