I was wondering if the Linux Compiler is more POSIX Compliant than Linux specific for the purpose of coding on BSD, using the BSD Linux Compatibility layer is not an option in this instance.

Thanks

POSIX is a standard for the operating system. Programs can't be "POSIX compliant".

Well thats funny because POSIX is an API standard...so technically...a program that uses the POSIX API is POSIX compliant...and will run under a POSIX compliant operating environment...
