When reading the sources I get the feeling that some bugs are back:
  #211733: typo in manpages/iconv.1
  #211984: typo in manpages/rpcgen.1
  #210301: locale-gen calls "unset POSIXLY_CORRECT" unconditionnally.
     About this one, I believe that test -n "${POSIXLY_CORRECT+set}"
     is a better fix, unless we know exactly what to do if
     POSIXLY_CORRECT is set to an empty value (this change is not
     included in the attached patch).
