`yes` from coreutils is incompatible with coreutils 5.2.1:
5.2.1:
$ yes -v | head -n3
-v
-v
-v
$ yes -- -v | head -n3
-- -v
-- -v
-- -v
6.9:
$ yes -- -v | head -n3
-v
-v
-v
$ yes -v | head -n3
yes: invalid option -- v
Try `yes --help' for more information.
$ LC_ALL=C yes -v
yes: invalid option -- v
so how this can be invalid option if there is no short options at all in yes
binary (nor in manual or --help output)
with such incompatabilities it's not possible to write portable code :/
