The POSIX compliance is in the POSIX subsystem. What is of concern
here is the MSVCRT runtime library in the Win32 subsystem.

The POSIX subsystem is mostly useless, it certainly would not make any
sense at all to port GTK to it (no GDI, for instance, and no
networking, hard to use X11 either...), not to mention GTK-using
applications.
