Thanks, but that's already fixed.
The latest is here:

  ftp://alpha.gnu.org/gnu/fetish/textutils-2.0.19.tar.gz

Now it says this:

  $ comm --help
  Usage: comm [OPTION]... LEFT_FILE RIGHT_FILE
  Compare sorted files LEFT_FILE and RIGHT_FILE line by line.

    -1              suppress lines unique to left file
    -2              suppress lines unique to right file
    -3              suppress lines that appear in both files
        --help     display this help and exit
        --version  output version information and exit

  Report bugs to <address@hidden>.
