Nope, you got it. Given all the horribly broken OS that gpsd supports
we can even inists on many POSIX 2008 features. Think junk like
CentOS and FreeBSD...
We can try to ship copies of 'newer' functions for back compatibilty
on out of date (yet new) OS, but thing ike memory barriers require
c compiler support that is not standardized.
I'm having trouble just getting POSIX 2001 to work! FreeBSD is driving
me nuts.
