In the AFAIK latest (2004) edition of the POSIX standard, anything
related to SCCS is marked as a XSI extension. And, in Base Definitions,
Section 2 - Conformance, under "2.1.3 - Posix conformance" one can read:
"The system may support the XSI extensions ..." Note _may_, not _must_.
So this PR should be closed IMHO.
