Because http://landley.net/notes-2016.html#11-03-2016 is killing posix.

But what I meant was "this is an obvious glibc bug, and a recently
introduced one at that". If they refuse to fix it, I'll take another
look at the workaround, but please try poking them first.

So new versions of the FSF's compiler cannot build existing versions of
the FSF's C library, and they were ok releasing that and have no plans
to fix it? Yeah, that's about what I expect from the FSF.
