    Problem Text
    This test expects sysconf(_SC_2_VERSION) to return the same value
    as _POSIX2_VERSION.

    This is not a requirement in XPG4.

    _POSIX2_VERSION is a constant and the application usage on page 445 of XPG4
    states that if the value of sysconf(_SC_2_VERSION) is not equal to the value
    of _POSIX2_VERSION, it is used to indicate that utilities available via
    system() and popen() might not behave as described in the XCU.

    This is to be expected for systems supporting the historic compatibility
    commands specification.
    Test Output
    ************************************************************************
    /tset/POSIX.os/procenv/sysconf_X/T.sysconf_X 11 Failed

    Test Description:
    If _POSIX2_VERSION is defined in <unistd.h> to a value other than -1:
    A call to sysconf() with the name argument set to _SC_2_VERSION
    returns the value of _POSIX2_VERSION.
    Otherwise:
    A call to sysconf() with the name argument set to _SC_2_VERSION
    either returns a value of -1 and does not change the value of
    errno, or (in the case that _POSIX2_VERSION is not defined)
    returns the value of _POSIX2_VERSION.
    Not tested in XPG3 mode.

    Test Strategy:
    CALL sysconf(_SC_2_VERSION)
    VERIFY that return value and errno are as expected

    Test Information:
    sysconf(_SC_2_VERSION) failed expected 199209 - got -1
