You imagined it.  IBM has made no statement concerning POSIX in OS/2.
Microsoft, on the other hand, has pledged compliance to the POSIX spec
for their NT project (I think it's number 1002.1, but I may have the
number wrong).

You may have gotten confused during the discussion of gcc.  The GNU
compiler, gcc, contains a library of unix-like functions to make
porting code easier.  This is nothing more than a library, though, and
has nothing to do with OS/2 proper.
