Read the EL/IX and then read the Posix design document posted here. 
The difference is that 
(A) Our lite posix layer works and is in production systems.
(B) Cygnus is trying to put this layer on eos and I don't think it will
work. Trying to figure out what subset of POSIX would be compatible
with RTL was quite hard, but we had the ability to shed complex stuff
to Linux. 

All in all, it's a good development because I think that it 
endorses the RTLinux direction.
