I recently tried to rebuild ingres from src on Gentoo 2006.1, only to

versions of 'sort' not accept the +n arg and expect -k(n+1) instead.
So anyway for those of you who want to build from src (not that many I
suspect...but anyway), this patch will make the build system work again.
I don't know Jam at all, so didn't try to be clever and do something
that figured out which sort of 'sort' you had...
This HOWTO install the binaries on Gentoo may also help somebody:

One of the links off the above page mentioned setting:
$ export _POSIX2_VERSION=199209
which makes sort understand +n args again. This could be a simpler fix
('tho I have not tried it, so might break something else!).
