    It is not sufficient to only identify the non-POSIX.1
system calls.  An ideal test suite should also test for
the likes of:

  - POSIX restrictions on assignment to errno,
  - references to system files not specified by POSIX 
    (e.g. /etc/passwd, /dev/kmem, and /dev/tty), and 
  - constraint and syntax errors.  

In addition, runtime checking must be performed to check 
for:
  - exceeding of minimum runtime limits,
  - parameters of calls to POSIX libraries, and
  - non-reliance on POSIX undefined or implementation
    defined constructs.
