The same source is used to build both the XPG and Sun flavors.  For
instance, the rm command is built from the same source with 13 lines of
distinct code between the two flavors.  Presumably these differ because
POSIX semantics differ from historical Solaris semantics and we did not
want to break legacy Solaris behavior.  If that's not the case and we can
remove all differences without impacting standards conformance or legacy
Solaris semantics, then there's no issue.
