Thanks for the report.
Many GNU tools recognize --help and --version only
when that option is the only command line argument.
If you do as the diagnostic suggests, however, you'd get this:
$ cksum --help
Usage: cksum [OPTION]... [FILE]...
Print CRC checksum and byte counts of each FILE.
--help display this help and exit
--version output version information and exit
which is inaccurate.
I've changed the first part to be like this instead:
Usage: ./cksum [FILE]...
or: ./cksum [OPTION]
...though I'm not sure it's worth the trouble.
