   Not that I like System 5 -- but a useful strategy may be to provide
   a "compatibility mode", like Sun does presently (/usr/5bin/cc
   compiles using the System 5 system call semantics, etc.)

It looks now like GNU will be Mach.  Since "UNIX" is only (to the Mach
kernel's point of view) a user-level process that coincidentally
happens to emulate 4.3BSD to other user level processes, there's
nothing to prevent someone from writing a SVID3- or FIPS- or Posix- or
VMS- or Whatever-compliant emulator as well.  Are you volunteering?

Didn't I hear somewhere that OSF or perhaps Microsoft was doing an
OS/2 emulator for Mach?  Or was that rumor as stillborn as OS/2? :-)
