During years of development GCC got several switches which are considered obsolete/deprecated now. And as such they are not available for new ports. Guess what? AArch64 has such status too.
One of switches is “-posix” one. It is not needed anymore as “_POSIX_SOURCE” macro deprecated it:
- Macro: _POSIX_SOURCE
If you define this macro, then the functionality from the POSIX.1 standard (IEEE Standard 1003.1) is available, as well as all of the ISO C facilities.
But it happens sometimes (I saw it in pdfedit 0.4.5 which is so old that it still uses Qt3). So if you find it somewhere then please save world with “s/-posix/-D_POSIX_SOURCE/g” 🙂
