It could. But the gnulib-tool user (a developer) can just as well create a symlink join -> gjoin. The habit of installing GNU coreutils with --program-prefix=g was common on OSes like Solaris and *BSD, when people wanted to do serious development on these platforms. But nowadays, why would anyone choose to do their development on Solaris or OpenBSD, rather than in a GNU system? I don't think many do. And they can create symlinks. Bruno
