+
+	Respond to POSIX interpretations about pathchk -p dated 2005-01-06.
+	* NEWS: Document the changes.
+	* doc/coreutils.texi (pathchk invocation): Likewise.
+	* src/pathchk.c (PORTABILITY_OPTION): New constant.
+	(longopts, usage, main, validate_file_name):
+	Add support for new -P option.
+	Reject empty file names (unless -p is not specified and the
+	current system allows empty file names).
+	Change --portability so that is now equivalent to -p -P.
+	Don't test whether file name is too long, if it is known to exist.
+	(no_leading_hyphen): New function.
+	* tests/misc/pathchk1: Add tests for empty file names and
+	pathchk -P.
