perhaps this is a variation of the problem with the posix version that glibc 
exports.
I looked in jkolbs gcc log from his gcc bug and it has this in it  
++++
checking assembler hidden support... head: `-1' option is obsolete; use `-n 1'
Try `head --help' for more information.
no
checking assembler leb128 support... head: `-1' option is obsolete; use `-n 1'
Try `head --help' for more information.
yes
checking assembler eh_frame optimization... head: `-1' option is obsolete; 
use 
`-$
Try `head --help' for more information.
no
++++

If it were my problem I would do this
 bunzip2 /var/log/sorcery/compile/*
 grep -r 'head --help' /var/log/sorcery/compile/
and if any packages showed up,  i'd check that the coreutils.sh file had been 
sourced during login and that head -1 worked and then recompile the affected 
spells.
