real strange, i have compiled quite a lot with something like

gcc -D_POSIX_SOURCE -DPOSIX -o bla bla.c -lcposix

for instance, bash-1.05, tcsh-5.20.02, elm-2.3#11 and lots more.
i never tried the stuff mentioned in cc(1) like setenv OSTYPE POSIX,
since it works for me without that (and my hacked bash definitely
is full of posix job control etc).

never ever have i seen a panic whatsoever. i run 2.2.1
with the security fix on a informtech 386/33 board, aha-1542a,
lotsa disks, hercules card.

however, it seems that iscntrl() in /lib/libcposix.a definitely
doesn't care about what you tell it at all in /lib/chrclass/*.
i assume there are more bugs in the posix stuff, but i haven't
discovered any really serious ones yet.
