>Description:
GNU sort was imported about three months ago and subsequently made a part
of the build. NetBSD sort was imported about five months ago and was
apparently not made part of the build. GNU sort does not understand
the common usage of +# (# = 1, 2, 3, etc.).
>How-To-Repeat:
Try building libncurses on its own. There were other areas which
complained of sort's inability to use +# but I don't recall exactly
where.
>Fix:
The following solves my problem on my machine. Your mileage may
vary and probably will. I imagine there was a reason for using
GNU sort and not NetBSD sort. I have no idea why though and since
GNU sort breaks world, I'd have to be all for using NetBSD sort
regardless of what fancy schmancy crap GNU sort offers.
