I don't recall BeOS being that POSIX friendly though.

Haiku own extensions to the original design?



Yes, indeed; we implement most of the mainline POSIX specification where BeOS did not at all (it didn't even have pthreads.)


BeOS supported enough posix to use gcc.


ISO C and POSIX are orthogonal. GCC also supports non-POSIX platforms.
