I'd say, stub it, since it's widely available on SysV system (it's
part of the SVID 3 interface).

Probably because these function were not Posix when DJ layed out the
v2.x headers.  (I see in various documentation pages on the net signs
that these functions were initially not in Posix.)  They are Posix
now, so we should move them into the Posix section.
