Quite true, but there are too many necessary features (such as reliable
disk writes) that aren't ``standard'' between UNIX systems. The best we
can do is #ifdef the nonstandard parts. The next best we can do is hope
that everyone will start using POSIX.

Why? Doesn't this only fail on broken linkers? The change is fine for
