>Description:

make(1) doesn't handle .POSIX: correctly.  It sucks in sys.mk before it
reads the Makefile, and sys.mk has several instances of
.if defined(%POSIX)
to switch between POSIX and non-POSIX mode; because sys.mk is processed
first, there is no opportunity for a .POSIX: directive to take effect.

>How-To-Repeat:
$ echo .POSIX: > Makefile
$ make -V CC
(prints "cc"; it should print "c89".)

>Fix:

Before processing sys.mk, main() should "taste" the Makefile by looking
for .POSIX.  This is required to appear on the first non-comment line of
the Makefile, so we don't need to actually parse the Makefile in order
to check for this.
