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.
