The Linux kernel was at one time explicitly POSIX compliant. Lately, I
have not seen that banner in the console output nor from 'dmesg'.

I think MVS/ESA Unix was certified to posix standard for U.S
government contracts. Somebody paid for Linux to get the same
certification about the same era. Most Linuxes are not certified.

IMHO Unix certification is not particularly relevant these days … it’s Linux
tool chain compatibility that is. I spend time frequently having to adjust to
old “Unix” utilities and command line arguments that are not supported (grep -r
anyone?)
A refresh of the toolchain and open source languages would be more awesome than
Unix95 certification.

The only use I have found in many years for having z/OS UNIX certified is
so that when someone says they hear that z/OS has a "UNIX emulator" or any
one of many similar bogus claims, I can say "No, z/OS *is* UNIX. And BTW
Linux is *not* UNIX." (Of course the FSF would say, Gnu's Not Unix.)"
