Because I'd expect a stage3 to be posix compliant
I agree. It's time to replace nano with Vim.
To restate this: There are numerous other utilities specified in POSIX

Agreed. The argument "its posix and should be in there" doesn't fit the
criterion for a stage3 tarball. A stage3 should be "a minimal set from
which any gentoo system can be built" (modulo arch, abi, libc, ..., of
course.) Emerging any linux kernel package will pull in bc (see
REDEPEND in kernel-2.eclass) and therefore bc is not needed to complete
that minimal set.
