Here's my suggested fix:
stash% pwd
/usr/src/gnu/usr.bin/sort
stash% cvs diff -uN
cvs diff: Diffing .
Index: posixver.c
===================================================================
RCS file: posixver.c
diff -N posixver.c
--- /dev/null 1 Jan 1970 00:00:00 -0000
+++ posixver.c 24 Sep 2002 20:37:22 -0000

+int posix2_version(void) {

If it's too confusing to have files with the same names in
/usr/src/gnu/usr.bin/sort and /usr/src/contrib/gnu-sort/lib this one
could be renamed (e.g. to "posixver-notreally.c") with a corresponding
Makefile change.
I am in the middle of a buildworld with this change.
