POSIX is a *subsystem*. you are using Win32 subsystem. There is also
OS2 subsystem for execution of 16-bit OS/2 programs

partial emulation of POSIX API in C compiler libraries has nothing
common with subsystem implemented as part of the OS. you have never
used POSIX subsystem actually (and btw, it's absent in Win9x line)
