utility head is not backward compatible

I downloaded the latest and greatest core utilities. The first problem I
found is that head is not backward compatible.

head -1 <file> no longer works, but a great many scripts still rely on this
api. Is there a way to tell it to accept this command without downloading
the source and changing it myself?
