How many unix platforms support none of the above?

My man chroot says

CONFORMING TO
       SVr4, 4.4BSD, SUSv2 (marked LEGACY).  This  function  is  not  part  of
       POSIX.1-2001.

So it does not seem to be part of POSIX. But I have no strong opinion. Maybe
another developer could chime in and push me to one or another side :-).
