    Problem Summary getconf 46-51 expect behavior not specified by SUSv3.
    Problem Text The comment in the test for #46 states:

    # If POSIX_V6_LP64_OFF64 is supported:
    # getconf -v POSIX_V6_LP64_OFF64 POSIX_V6_LP64_OFF64_CFLAGS will
    write
    # something other than -1 or undefined to standard output
    # otherwise:
    # getconf -v POSIX_V6_LP64_OFF64 POSIX_V6_LP64_OFF64_CFLAGS
    # will write -1 or undefined to standard output.

    There is nothing in the SUSv3 standard that supports the "otherwise"
    clause.

    The standard states:
    If the command:

    getconf -v _POSIX_V6_LP64_OFF64

    does not write "-1" or "undefined" to standard output, then
    commands of the form:

    getconf -v POSIX_V6_LP64_OFF64 _POSIX_V6_LP64_OFF64_CFLAGS

    determine values for the ...

    It says nothing about:
    getconf -v POSIX_V6_LP64_OFF64 _POSIX_V6_LP64_OFF64_CFLAGS
    if
    getconf -v _POSIX_V6_LP64_OFF64

    writes -1 or undefined.

    The suggested fix is to remove the "else" segment of the tests.
