This has been mentioned before, but remains a puzzle to me.
We have BSD boxes, SysV boxes, and a couple of RTs, and porting our
stuff to AIX was not a matter of saying make -DSYS5 nor even of mixing
and matching BSD bits and SysV bits, but in several cases of finding
third solutions.  I only read about half of the RT manuals, but for
what it's worth I don't remember seeing any claim of SysV conformance.
