    Problem Text

    The XSH4 specification on page 615 under the heading "Constants for options
    and Feature Groups" specifies the mechanism to use to determine if a feature
    group is supported. It is stated:

    "The following symbolic constants are defined to have the value -1 if the
    implementation wil never provide the feature, and to have a value other then
    -1 if the implementation always provides the feature. If these are undefined,
    the sysconf function can be use to determine whether the feature is provided
    for a particular invocation of the application"

    In our implementation _XOPEN_XCU_VERSION is set to 4, POSIX2_FORT_DEV and
    _POSIX2_FORT_RUN are undefined. sysconf() returns a -1 with errno=0 which is
    valid since the option is not supported. In the XCU4 specification page 1,
    it is stated that the FORTRAN utilities need not be provided. The test cases
    expects a value != -1 under the set conditions.

    We believe the test cases are at fault and request that a waiver be granted.

    Test Output
    /tset/POSIX.os/procenv/sysconf_X/T.sysconf_X 13 UNREPORTED

    Test Description:
    If _POSIX2_FORT_DEV is defined in <unistd.h> to a value other than -1,
    or _XOPEN_XCU_VERSION is defined in <unistd.h> to a value greater than
    or equal to 4:
    A call to sysconf(_SC_2_FORT_DEV) returns a value other than -1.
    Otherwise:
    A call to sysconf(_SC_2_FORT_DEV) does not change the value of
    errno, and (in the case that _POSIX2_FORT_DEV is -1) returns a
    value of -1.
    Not tested in XPG3 mode.

    Test Information:
    sysconf(_SC_2_FORT_DEV) did not return expected values
    returned -1, errno 0 (NO ERROR)
    expected return value != -1

    Not tested in XPG3 mode.

    Test Information:
