You have reached the GNU coreutils mailing list, and 'xargs' is not part
of the coreutils [1].

[1] https://www.gnu.org/software/coreutils/

Instead, 'xargs' is part of the 'findutils' package, so you're better off asking
on their mailing list or bug tracker.

  $ xargs --help | tail -n4
  You can report (and track progress on fixing) bugs in the "xargs"
  program via the GNU findutils bug-reporting page at
  https://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?group=findutils or, if
  you have no web access, by sending email to <bug-findutils@gnu.org>.

I'm therefore marking this as "not a bug" + "closed" in the coreutils bug 
tracker.

Have a nice day,
Berny
