Description:

make(1) doesn't handle .POSIX: correctly.  It sucks in sys.mk before it
reads the Makefile, and sys.mk has several instances of
.if defined(%POSIX)
to switch between POSIX and non-POSIX mode; because sys.mk is processed
first, there is no opportunity for a .POSIX: directive to take effect.

How-To-Repeat:
$ echo .POSIX: > Makefile
$ make -V CC
(prints "cc"; it should print "c89".)

Except that there is the opportunity to set %POSIX using make -D.  This
might be enough in practice.  The namespace pollution avoidance is
too perfect -- there seems to be no way to set %POSIX or .POSIX in the
environment.
