I'll attach a patch to port the GCC build procedure to hosts (like mine) whose sort' and 'tail' implementations treat operands with leading '+' as file names, as POSIX has required since 2001. The patch doesn't affect the build procedure on traditional hosts that don't support POSIX syntax. This follows up on the recent gcc-patches discussion <http://gcc.gnu.org/ml/gcc-patches/2006-05/msg00140.html>.
