SVID (The System V Interface Description)
-----------------------------------------
...
The GNU C library defines most of the facilities required by the SVID
that are not also required by the ISO C or POSIX standards, for
compatibility with System V Unix and other Unix systems (such as
SunOS) which include these facilities. However, many of the more
obscure and less generally useful facilities required by the SVID are
not included. (In fact, Unix System V itself does not provide them
all.)

So, the long and the short of it is GNU libc doesn't claim to fully
support System V.
I looked for __iob in the SUS3, for instance, and couldn't find
neither hide nor hair...
