    Product Standard 1003.1-2003 System Interfaces
    Certification Program POSIX Certified by IEEE and The Open Group
    Test Suite VSX-PCTS2003 version 2.2
    Test Identification POSIX.hdr/misc/unistd_X/T.unistd_X.25
    Location in Spec None
    Problem Summary _POSIX2_VERSION needs to be undefined but
    POSIX.hdr/misc/unistd_X/T.unistd_X 25 does not allow it
    Problem Text We ran into a situation were we don't support the shell utilities
    checked for in XPG4.os/procenv/confstr/T.confstr. The solution for this
    was to make sysconf(_SC_2_VERSION) return -1. This leads me to undefine
    _POSIX2_VERSION for POSIX.os/procenv/sysconf_X/T.sysconf_X.11
    which then causes POSIX.hdr/misc/unistd_X/T.unistd_X.25 to fail.
    According to Lynne Canal, the proper thing to do would be to not have
    T.unistd_X fail so that there could be separation between the system
    intefaces standard and the shell utilities standard. Since there is not
    likely time to get this changed before I submit for certification I'd
    like to get a wavier for POSIX.hdr/misc/unistd_X/T.unistd_X.25 failing.

    Review Recommendation Test Suite Deficiency (TSD)
    Review Response This is accepted as a fault in the test suite.

    In the next release the test will be updated to give an FIP result and
    the following output if _POSIX2_VERSION is not defined when run in
    POSIX01 test mode:

    _POSIX2_VERSION is not defined
    This is acceptable provided the implementation only claims
    conformance to the 1003.1-2003 System Interfaces product
    standard and not to the 1003.1-2003 Base product standard.
