    Test Identification rt.cmd/ccompiler/c99
    Specification Base Definitions Issue 6
    Problem Summary c99 #1 fails to compile because it expects optional symbols to be
    defined
    Problem Text This assertion fails because it is expecting the headers for an option
    and the library routines (even if only as stubs) for an option to always
    be available unless the corresponding announcement macro in <unistd.h>
    is defined to be -1. This issue has been discussed on Austin Group
    conference calls as XBD ERN #9. The resolution was:

    1. if the macro is not defined in the header and sysconf() reports
    that the option is not supported, or
    2. if the macro is defined in the header to have value -1
    then there is no requirement that the corrresponding header be
    present nor that there be any library routines available that only
    need to be available if the option is supported.

    Review Recommendation Temporary Interpretation (TIN)
    Review Response There has been no formal resolution by the Austin Group yet on this
    issue. However, current consensus appears to be that the specification
    is unclear, and therefore a TIN should be granted pending an Austin
    Group interpretation.
