Hi, GNU Linux isn't (yet) POSIX compliant. If you need an OS which will better fit these requirements choose BSD.
The only OS I know which is fully POSIX compliant regarding to IPC is True64. On Linux it's a hassle. If you need some aio_...(), what is often needed in combination with IPC ... AFAIK these functions are missing completely on Linux. BTW: There really isn't any OS for which the kernel implementations of some features fit POSIX. Mostly POSIX compliance is reached by the means of library functions and the kernel - userland interface (syscalls).
