I'd say "no". Such an update would affect behavior only if
POSIXLY_CORRECT is set, right? Normally it's not worth worrying about
usage where POSIXLY_CORRECT is set, except for making sure that it
conforms to POSIX. This is because POSIXLY_CORRECT is intended only
for standards-conformance nerds; ordinary users shouldn't use it.
