ntfsprogs-1.7.1 and libsdl-1.2.6 use head -1 in configure

libsdl-1.2.6:

checking for ESD - version >= 0.2.8... yes
head: `-1' option is obsolete; use `-n 1'
Try `head --help' for more information.
-- /usr/lib/libesd.so.* -> 
checking for X... libraries /usr/X11R6/lib, headers /usr/X11R6/include

ntfsprogs-1.7.1:

checking version of gcc... head: `-1' option is obsolete; use `-n 1'
Try `head --help' for more information.
./configure: line 5722: test: `)' expected, found 96
v. ?.??, ok
