+       * src/touch.c (main): Fix POSIX-conformance bug: "touch --
+       MMDDhhmm file" must be treated like "touch MMDDhhmm file" when
+       conforming to pre-2001 POSIX.
+       * NEWS: Document this.
+       * tests/touch/obsolescent: Test for this bug.  Also, set
+       _POSIX2_VERSION=199209 and POSIXLY_CORRECT=1 so that it's
+       a better test for obsolescent features.
+
        * src/sort.c (main): Emulate Solaris 8 and 9 "sort -y", so that
        "sort -y abc" is like "sort abc" whereas "sort -y 100" is like
        plain "sort".
