 [changing from sort with traditional "+" and "-" options
 to POSIX-style "-k" options]:

 The sort command was changed in revision 1.3, dated 2006-06-27, and that
 change is in -current and in netbsd-4.  The change is not in netbsd-3.
 Are you asking for the change to be pulled up to the netbsd-3 branch?

 This script is not used during the build, and is not installed.  I don't
 think it's necessary to change the sort command.

 This is a fortune file.  The sort command is printed in an attempt at
 humour; it's never executed.  I don't think it's necessary to change the
 sort command.

 The entire gnu/dist/toolchain directory doesn't exist in -current or in
 netbsd-4.  The file src/gnu/dist/toolchain/contrib/compare_tests does
 exist in the netbsd-3 branch, but as far as I can tell (without actually
 building the netbsd-3 branch) this script is not executed during a
 build.  I don't think it's necessary to change the sort command.
