For POSIX conformance testing, you will probably want to grab a copy of NIST/PCTS -- "National Institute of Standards and Technology POSIX Conformance Test Suite". It is available for download from the NIST FTP server. Historically, I've also used the SVID III validation suite, at least for SVR4 based systems. If your "other OS" is a UNIX OS, then you will probably be able to wrangle a copy of this under that license. You will also meed TET -- "Test Environment Toolkit"; it is a framework for running validation suites. If you are going to write your own branch-path validations, or unit tests, you may also want to grab ETET -- "Extended" TET. For unit validation under FreeBSD, you might want to check out my kernel memory leak detection code; it is a validation suite that combines the ability to do unit tests with the ability to see any resulting kernel memory leaks. It's not very up to date at present, but it comes with a validation set for path name buffer leak detection on FreeBSD, so it is probably a good example of a branch path validation tool for system call interfaces.
