I don't smoke, but I'll take one of those nice German beers :-).

So that gets to the root of your VAX build problems. If you have SYS
defined on the Alpha where POSIX fails to build, there could be a
similar problem. For example the compiler might be looking at older
extracted reference copies rather than up-to-date copies in the text
libraries.
Now what to do about it. I have a feeling that the stuff in
[.vms]descrip_mms.template where SYS is defined may only be there for
VAX C and/or GNU C. I'm reluctant to simply cut it out, though,
because I don't know what might depend on it. Does anyone know the
history here? It seems at the least we should add SYS to the list of
dangerous logical names.
