  One of the worse parts of Borland's Standard C Library implementation
  is that it is not possible to implement a fuller POSIX 1003 library
  and use that instead of the one supplied by Borland, since several of
  the Standard C Library functions link to POSIX 1003 functions.

  Admittedly, this state of affairs has improved since the Borland C++
  1.0 days, with the introduction of an internal layer of functions with
  secret names on top of which both the Standard C Library functions and
  the POSIX functions sit (a useless layer -- Borland should have made
  everything just call the OS/2 API directly), but there are still some
  problem areas, and it is still difficult to correct the POSIX
  implementation.
