A lot of things are disabled when using the UNIX host.  Ian Taylor
long ago sent me a patch that allowed some more features (in particular
networking) to be used by the Linux port.  If you would like a copy
of that patch, I would be happy to send it to you.  

It needs reviewing and updating.  Ian had some qualms about its
portability.
I suspect that now that we are more autoconf'ed, it would be possible
to select a set of files for Linux/Posix versus OTHER/Posix.
