(Continuing on from 13358).

    It seems you're using an older version, 

So I was.  Argh.

If that's the case, then we should enhance gnulib's

undesirable sequence, to make it easier to avoid re-introducing problems
in packages that enable that rule.

There was a stray '}' above.

Also you don't seem to have use the latest git as
there was an @sc{nul} in the new readlink --zero description.

Also there was a sc-use-small-caps-NUL syntax-check
that needed to be removed.

Pushed with those adjustments.

thanks,
Pádraig.

Only one @sc left in the manual, and I assume it is intentional, so 
closing this bug.

  $ grep "@sc" doc/coreutils.texi
  To specify a tab (@sc{ascii} 0x09) character instead of whitespace, use
