POSIX doesn't specify libc or any other library.  It specifies (by
omission) that the function shall be available when the "c99" command
is used without any special "-l" arguments (such as "-l rt").  It can
be located in any library, so long as "c99" always includes that
library when building an executable.  (Of course, we don't support
_XOPEN_UNIX and probably never will, but that would be the requirement
if we did.)
