   The point now is this:
   Can SOMEBODY please modify the include files in the DISTRIBUTION so 
   they are consistent with SYSVr4 ?
   This will make Linux MORE and MORE "standard" !!!!

   The idea is that everybody that compile uses either
   -DSYSVR4
   or
   -DPOSIX 
   or
   -DSYSV

Um, we are not trying to create a sysVr4 clone (heaven forbid).  We
_are_ working on POSIX compatibility.

Please, not sysvr4.  it's just too big.  All things to all people, you
know.  That certainly shouldn't describe linux.  Nor should the need
for huge disks...

As far "the include files in the DISTRIBUTION" go, well, it depends on
your compiler.  There really is no standard right now -- that's under
development.  Wait for gcc 2.1/2.2 and the ABC release if you are not
comfortable with a little playing with such things.
